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.'
