The Pirates, who won the second game of the previous night's doubleheader, 15-4, got a taste of their own medicine when they were walloped by the Braves, 15-5. The Braves piled up 21 hits, including homers by Hank Aaron, Mike Lum and Marty Perez. Aaron's homer accounted for the 1,882nd run of his career, moving him into sixth place on the major leagues' all-time list ahead of Tris Speaker.

Darrell Evans had a perfect night at bat with two doubles and two singles. Lum collected four hits in five trips and drove in four runs. [The Sporting News]
