A triple by Dave Parker with two out climaxed a three-run rally in the ninth inning and brought the Pirates a 6-5 victory over the Braves. Jim Rooker, who started for the Pirates, hit his first major league homer, but the Braves got three RBIs from Jerry Royster and were leading, 5-3, going into the ninth.
