Omar Moreno tied the club record for stolen bases with 70 and Kent Tekulve set a club record for saves with 31 as the Pirates beat the Phillies, 5-3. Moreno equalled Frank Taveras' 1977 mark.

Tekulve, who led the league in appearances with 91, broke the team save record of 30, set by Dave Giust in 1971. Odell Jones, making his first major league start, was credited with the win. [The Sporting News]
