A homer by Willie Stargell with two men on base in the eighth inning lifted the Pirates to a 3-1 victory over the Braves. Nelson Briles, who pitched for the Pirates, allowed only three hits, but singles by Mike Lum and Marty Perez around a walk to Dusty Baker gave the Braves their run in the fifth. The Pirates collected only four hits off Gary Gentry and were in danger of losing until the eighth when Manny Sanguillen singled, Richie Hebner walked and Stargell crashed his homer.
