Pirates 11, Expos 5
Jim Rooker vs Don Stanhouse

This one was a cakewalk for the visitors, who had an 11-1 lead   after 6 1/2 innings of play.  The Expos managed to score some "window dressing" runs just to make the final score respectable, but they were never really in it.  Don Stanhouse, who came into the game with a 3-0 record was hammered for 10 runs (7 earned) in 6 2/3 innings.  Al Oliver had 4 RBI's for the Bucs, including his 4th homer of the season.  Willie Stargell went 3 for 5 with an RBI.  Andy Thornton has been red hot since arriving from Chicago.  He's now hitting .295 thanks to a 2-4 day and his 3rd homer as an Expo.  Barry Foote went 3 for 4 to increase his average to .325 and put pressure on Carter (.220) for the rights to the starting catcher spot.
