Returning to the lineup just three days after suffering a bone chip in the middle finger of his left hand, Dave Parker tripled home one run and scored two others to spark the Pirates to a 4-2 decision over the Braves. The triple came in the first inning and drove in Phil Garner, who had walked. Parker then scored on a single by Willie Stargell.
