The first game of the Pirates’ series in San Francisco was rained out, to be made up when they return at the end of August. The day went well enough, though, as the Expos, Cards and Phillies all lost. The Pirates now trail both the Cards and Phillies by half a game, and Montreal by four and a half.
The two remaining games in San Francisco will have John Candelaria and Jim Rooker facing John Montefusco and Vida Blue.
