The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants, 6-5, at Three Rivers Stadium. Pittsburgh right fielder Roberto Clemente was named player of the game for his superb performance. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. With the win, the Pirates have a record of 35-27.
