Phil Niekro, working with two days of rest for the second time in succession, pitched the Braves to a 4-2 victory over the Pirates in a game in which all runs scored on homers. Johnny Oates, Mike Lum and Darrell Evans rapped round-trippers for the Braves, Oates' blow coming with a man on base, while Manny Sanguillen and Richie Hebner had circuit clouts for the Pirates.
