Leading off in the first inning, Garry Templeton homered on John Candelaria's first pitch, but that was the Cardinals' only run in a 2-1 loss to the Pirates. The Bucs tied the score with a double by Omar Moreno and a single by John Milner in the third and put over the winning run when Milner and Bill Robinson singled and Willie Stargell hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
