Crossing up the Pirates' strategy, Rob Belloir batted the Braves to a 3-2 victory with a two-run double in the seventh inning for the rookie shortstop's first extra-base hit and first RBIs of his major league career. The Braves registered a run without a hit on three walks and an out by Mike Lum in the first before Bob Robertson tied the score with a homer in the second.
