The home crowd had a good time watching the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals get after it.

St. Louis got a strong outing from John D'Acquisto as the Cardinals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-0, at Busch Stadium 1973. The Pirates drop to 11-13 and continue their mediocre start to the 1981 season.

D'Acquisto imposed his will on the Pirates, scattering 4 hits over 7.2 innings while striking out 8. The right-hander upped his season record to 3-1.

D'Acquisto told a St. Louis Gazette reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.
