Phillies Use Late Score to Top Pirates, 5-4
The Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates played an entertaining game for Three Rivers Stadium 1975 patrons.

Philadelphia Phillies starter Donnie Blair found his groove in his team's 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Andy Gonzales, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 1.1 innings.

It could have been a different outcome for Philadelphia, had it not been for Jose Cruz Jr., the 24-year old left fielder . Cruz Jr. contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Philadelphia up, 5-4.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Pittsburgh manager Alan Hounsell said, following the tough loss.

By defeating Pittsburgh, the second-place Phillies improved to 84-63.
