April 12, 1972. Pittsburgh 3, Chicago Cubs 0.

Pittsburgh looked more like the defending World Series champs with a 3-0 win over the Cubs in Wrigley.  Steve Blass held the Cubs scoreless over the 1st 7 innings with Bruce Kison and Dave Giusti finishing it up.  Blass gave up only 6 singles in his 7+ innings and Giusti gave another in the 9th. The Cubs only got 1 runner to 3rd base and that was with 2 outs.  Manny Sanguillen caught Jose Cardenal stealing to end that threat.

Willie Stargell's 4th inning homer gave the Buccos all the runs they would need.  However, Pittsburgh added on in the 7th and 8th with a Vic Davalillo sacrifice fly and an Al Oliver single. In additional to the sacrifice fly, Davalillo was a perfect 3/3.

His record improves to 1-1. The save went to Dave Giusti, his 1st this season. Pittsburgh relied on the hitting of Willie Stargell to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Pirates on top, 1-0. For the game, Stargell had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats. Blass called the win "a collective effort." Chicago falls to 3-2.
