A single by Gene Alley in the 11th inning scored Bob Robertson and gave the Pirates a 5-4 victory over the Padres. Clay Kirby, who singled to drive in two of the Padres' runs, became the first San Diego pitcher to go nine innings this season, but he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the 10th. With Bill Laxton on the mound, Robertson walked in the 11th. Manny Sanguillen sacrificed and Alley singled to break up the game. [The Sporting News]
