Stargell's Remedy: Hit Opposite Field to Beat Mets
Willie Stargell ended his pull-hitting approach against Mets lefty Rob Gardner by aiming to hit away from the shift. He belted Gardner’s first pitch to right for his 26th homer in a 7 5 Pirates win, moving Pittsburgh two games up in the NL. Clemente cultivated the setup with a tying hit, saying he fouled off pitches to reach base for Stargell’s decisive shot. The day included St Louis beating Philadelphia 5-1 and Chicago edging Houston in a suspended first game, with Ralph Terry making his Mets debut and Ken Boyer contributing four hits for the Cards.
