John Milner rapped out four straight hits and Bill Robinson added a pair of doubles and a single to lead the Pirates to a 4-1 victory over the Reds. The Pirates scored in the second inning on a double by Robinson, walk to Willie Stargell and single by Milner. After Ed Ott walked, Stargell tallied the second run of the frame on a sacrifice fly by Phil Garner.

Singles by Robinson, Stargell and Milner gave the Pirates another run in the third. A double by Robinson and Joe Morgan's throwing error on Stargell's grounder was good for the Pirates' final score in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
