In a good matchup it was the Pittsburgh Pirates 7, the Cleveland Indians 4 at Municipal Stadium.
The Cleveland fans didn't appreciate the big day Willie Stargell had. He
clubbed a three-run home run in the 3rd inning, smacked a single in the 6th
inning and laced a one-base hit which scored a run in the 8th inning.
Pittsburgh managed 10 hits in their victory.
Jack Billingham(1-0) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 7 innings. Ramon
Hernandez gained credit for his 1st save. Ron Bryant(0-1) was the losing pitcher.
