Willie Stargell ended a 1-for-28 slump with a tremendous two run homer in the sixth inning, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros at Forbes Field. Stargell drove in the Pirates’ first run with a sacrifice in the first and noted the historic roof hit as the ball cleared the right-field roof.
