Successive homers by Dave Parker and Richie Zisk climaxed the Pirates' five-run outburst in the sixth inning in a 7-2 victory over the Giants. A homer by Von Joshua in the third and singles by Derrel Thomas, Bobby Murcer and Willie Montanez in the sixth gave the Giants a 2-0 lead before the Pirates erupted.

Rennie Stennett singled, Richie Hebner doubled and Al Oliver singled for the first two runs. Parker then hit his homer to score behind Oliver. Zisk followed Parker to the plate and also homered to cap the inning. [The Sporting News]
