Multi-HR Day for Groth as Pirates Overpower Cubs, 8-2
With left fielder Johnny Groth leading the charge, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs, 8-2, at Wrigley Field. Groth, who finished 2nd in the NL in batting average with .304 in 1967, was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. B J Ryan converted his 6th save in 6 tries. Pittsburgh is now 92-62.

Pittsburgh used the bat of Tony Conigliaro to get the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We looked pretty good up and down," said Pittsburgh manager Cory Einhorn.
