Jim Rooker tossed his first shutout of the season, stopping the Braves on three hits as the Pirates claimed their sixth victory in the last seven games, 4-0. Willie Stargell singled home two runs for the Bucs, plating Rennie Stennett in the first and Craig Reynolds in the third after Stennett had walked, moved to third on Reynolds' single and scored on Al Oliver's groundout. Richie Hebner's single, two errors by the Braves and a base hit by Stennett got the final run across in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
