Woodie Fryman (6-3) vs Jimmy Key (8-2)
Pirates 4, Blue Jays 0
In a battle of soft tossing crafty lefties, Woodie Fryman came out on top thanks to some fine Pirate defense and fine clutch hitting. After 5 innings of scoreless ball the Bucs solved Key with 4 runs in the top of the 6th. After "Bob" Clemente led off with single, Willie Stargell lined a bullet to center for out number 1. Donn Clendenon, who shines bright in World Series competition, deposited a 1-2 Jimmy Key offering into the left field pavilion to break the scoreless deadlock. With the score 2-0 Pittsburgh DH Manny Mota doubled to deep center and scored on Jose Pagan's double to the exact same spot. With 2 outs the ever so clutch Bill Mazeroski doubled down the rightfield line to make it 4-0. With Fryman locked in like he was those 4 runs felt like 20. Toronto would get just 2 hit over the next 4 innings as Fryman would go the distance and record the 4-0 shutout.
Pirates lead series 2-0
