Ed Spiezio smashed a three-run homer in the eighth inning to carry the Padres to an 8-6 victory over the Pirates. Al Ferrara opened the frame with a single and pinch-runner Larry Stahl advanced on a sacrifice. The Pirates then passed Nate Colbert intentionally, hoping to set up a double play, but Spiezio wrecked the move with his homer. In the first inning, when the Padres scored their first five runs, the Pirates also passed Colbert intentionally to get at Spiezio, who drove in a run with a single. [The Sporting News]
