Owner Ted Turner took over as acting manager of the Braves but was unsuccessful in his first attempt to break the club's losing streak. The Pirates pinned the Braves with their 17th straight setback, 2-1. Dave Parker, hitting safely in his 22nd game in a row, smashed a homer in the third inning to account for the Pirates' winning run.
