Manny Sanguillen, who had only one homer to his credit previously this season, connected for the circuit with a man on base in the eighth inning to send the Pirates on the way to an 8-5 victory over the Astros. Richie Zisk singled and Rennie Stennett tripled to tie the score at 5-5 before Sanguillen rapped his round-tripper. Oamr Moreno, who replaced Al Oliver, accounted for the Pirates' final tally with his first major league homer in the ninth.
