Dave Parker collected three of the Pirates' six hits, including a homer, to support the pitching of Jerry Reuss, who allowed only four hits and beat the Expos, 6-1. Parker homered in the fifth inning before Barry Foote accounted for the Expos' run with a round-tripper in the seventh.

The Pirates then broke the game apart in their half, scoring four runs. Bob Robertson was hit by a pitch and galloped home on a double by Richie Zisk to snap the tie. Parker singled. Zisk scored on a grounder by Art Howe, with other runners taking an extra base on a wild throw to the plate by Pete Mackanin. A sacrifice fly by Frank Taveras and single by Rennie Stennett added two more tallies. Ed Kirkpatrick closed out the scoring with a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
