Smashing three homers in the fourth inning for all their runs, the Pirates defeated the Expos, 5-3. Omar Moreno walked and Dave Parker followed with the first homer. After a single by Manny Sanguillen, Phil Garner and Steve Brye connected for the circuit in succession.

Don Robinson gained his fourth victory in five decisions, but the rookie was replaced in the ninth after Tony Perez homered for the Expos. Grant Jackson in relief retired one batter and Kent Tekulve set down the last two. [The Sporting News]
