Pinch-hitting in the eighth inning, Manny Mota drove in two runs with a double to bring the Dodgers a 4-3 victory over the Pirates. The Dodgers took an early 2-0 lead before the Pirates erupted for three runs in the eighth on a double by Manny Sanguillen and homers by Al Oliver and Richie Zisk. Mike Marshall, making his eighth straight relief appearance, took over for Doug Rau and was the winner when Bill Buckner singled, Jim Wynn walked and Mota sent them both home with his double in the Dodgers' half.
