A six-hitter by Jim Bibby carried the Pirates to a 3-0 whitewashing of the Giants. All of the Pirates' runs came in the third inning. With one out, Bibby singled and was forced at second by Frank Taveras. Omar Moreno singled to right and Taveras scored all the way from first. A double by Dave Parker scored Moreno and a single by Bill Robinson plated Parker. [The Sporting News]
