Pirates Hold Narrow Lead After Mets Loss
The Pirates fell 7-2 to the New York Mets and drop into a first place tie with the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL East race. Dan Murtaugh dismissed any notion of a wake as Pittsburgh heads into a three game finish with home games against the Chicago Cubs while St. Louis faces the Montreal Expos. Bob Apodaca scattered three hits for the Mets and Gene Clines supplied Pittsburgh’s only runs with a sixth inning pinch single and a ninth inning sacrifice fly from Willie Stargell.
