Bill Robinson drove in three runs with a double and Frank Taveras batted in two with a triple to account for the Pirates' scoring in a 5-0 victory over the Phillies. John Candelaria, who pitched the first seven innings for the Pirates, allowed only three hits before yielding to Rich Gossage, who finished without allowing another safety. [The Sporting News]
