Second baseman Felix Mantilla connected with a 'big fly' and had 2 RBI and Lew
Burdette had a strong outing as the very talented Milwaukee Braves outscored
the Pittsburgh Pirates 6 to 0.
 
Burdette(20-10) was in control of the game from the outset.  He didn't allow
much, just 5 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.  Milwaukee rapped out 10 hits for
the afternoon.  
 
Bob Friend(13-17) was the losing pitcher.  He was touched for 10 hits and 2
walks in 7 innings.  Danny Murtaugh was obviously impressed with the pitching
of Burdette, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there this afternoon.
We just couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him.  I just
hope that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'
