Monte Irvin blasted 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates
defeated the Philadelphia-NL Phillies by the score of 6 to 0 at Shibe
Park.

Irvin had a big day with his bat.  He blasted a solo shot in the 2nd inning,
hit a bases-empty home run in the 4th inning and blasted a two-run home run
in the 8th inning.  Overall Pittsburgh out-hit Philadelphia-NL 10 to 6.

Ewell Blackwell(12-3) got the win allowing no runs in 7 innings. Howie
Fox(8-7) was the losing pitcher.  He served up 3 homeruns in his 6 innings.

Irvin said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate
today.  You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you can.  A couple
pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
