He delivered a one-base hit in the 2nd inning, blasted a solo shot in the 5th inning, doubled scoring two baserunners in the 6th inning and ripped a base-knock in the 8th inning. Pittsburgh had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Gerry Staley(6-4) went 6 innings allowing 4 runs for the win. Staley got relief help from Dave Koslo who gained credit for his 4th save. Joe Dobson(2-6) ended up with the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 9 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings.
