His 7th-inning, two-run homer moves Willie Stargell past the late Roberto Clemente into sole possession of second place on Pittsburgh’s all-time RBI list, his total of 1,307 now trailing only Honus Wagner’s 1,475. Stargell’s blast takes a page out of his late mentor’s book, going out to the opposite field. It concludes a four-run 7th, giving Pittsburgh starter Bert Blyleven a five-run cushion which proves inadequate as the Dodgers storm back with three-spots in the 7th and 9th, featuring, respectively, Reggie Smith’s two-run home run and walk-off, two-run double.
