Pirates clinch third straight NL East title with 6 2 win
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Mets 6 2 Friday to seal their third consecutive National League East crown. Manager Bill Virdon treated the moment as business like with little celebration, stressing the need to focus on the upcoming playoff challenge against Cincinnati. Richie Hebner drove in two runs with a two run single in the decisive third inning as Steve Blass earned his 18th win and the club opened the champagne mood only modestly.
