Staging a slugging show, the Pirates smashed five homers for all their runs and defeated the Dodgers, 5-4. Willie Stargell started the bombardment in the second inning. Dave Cash followed with a clout in the fifth and Richie Hebner homered in the sixth. Back-to-back blows by Manny Sanguillen and Al Oliver climaxed the attack in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
