Bill Robinson, who broke up a no-hit bid by Wayne Twitchell with a single in the eighth inning, touching off a four-run rally by the Pirates, singled again off reliever Joe Kerrigan in the 10th and drove in a run to beat the Expos, 6-5. Twitchell had a 5-0 lead and a perfect game in the works before Robinson singled. Al Oliver followed with a homer. When Ed Ott singled, Twitchell gave way to Will McEnaney.
