August 12, 1979: Pirates Rained Out, Face Phillies Tomorrow

The Pirates’ game in Philadelphia today was rained out.  It’ll be made up as part of a doubleheader on September 19.  The teams will conclude their series tomorrow, with Jim Bibby facing Larry Christenson.

The Montreal Expos had a doubleheader against the Mets in New York rained out, so the Pirates remain in first by a game and a half.  They’re four games ahead of the third-place Chicago Cubs.  In the NL West, the Houston Astros lead the Cincinnati Reds by four games.
