Four walks in the 10th inning handed the Expos a 4-3 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Pirates came back to win the second game, 5-2, to retain their lead of five lengths over the Phillies in the Eastern Division race. The Cards and Mets were 5½ games off the pace. Kent Tekulve, pitching in relief for the Pirates in the opener, walked Pete Mackanin to start the 10th. After a wild pitch and infield out moved Mackanin to third, Tekulve issued an intentional pass to Jim Lyttle. With Jerry White at the plate, a passed ball enabled Lyttle to take second. Tekulve then walked White intentionally to load the bases before passing Pepe Mangual to force in the Expos' winning run.

In the nightcap, Willie Stargell homered for the Pirates and Richie Hebner batted in two runs with a bases-loaded single. Ellis Valentine hit his first major league homer for the Expos, in the fifth inning. [The Sporting News]
