Two wild pitches by Randy Moffitt in the 11th inning enabled Manny Sanguillen to score the run that gave the Pirates a 3-2 victory over the Giants. Richie Zisk hit a homer in the fourth to put the Pirates ahead, 2-1, but the Giants tied the score in the eighth after Dave Rader reached base on an error by Ed Kirkpatrick. Pinch-runner Johnnie LeMaster went to third on a pinch-single by Chris Arnold and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Marty Perez.

Sanguillen led off the 11th with a single and took second on a sacrifice by Tommy Helms. Facing pinch-hitter Bob Robertson, Moffitt uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Sanguillen to take third and threw wild again two pitches later to enable Sanguillen to score. [The Sporting News]
