In an extra-base outburst, Dave Parker whacked two triples and a double, driving in three runs, to lead the Pirates to a 5-3 victory over the Braves, who absorbed their 12th straight defeat. Parker poked his first triple with the bases loaded in the first inning and Richie Zisk followed with a single to add the fourth tally. That was enough for the Pirates, but Al Oliver made victory certain by smashing a homer in the eighth inning.
