Snapping a seven-game losing streak, the Pirates prevailed over the Dodgers, 5-3. The Bucs scored in their first turn at bat on a double by Phil Garner, single by Dave Parker and sacrifice fly by Bill Robinson. In the second, John Milner stroked a leadoff single, took third on a single by Duffy Dyer and scored when Jim Rooker bounced into a forceout. Frank Taveras then tripled home Rooker and Charlie Hough replaced Doug Rau on the hill. The reliever gave up an RBI single to Garner. Parker hit a leadoff homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
