Grant Jackson received the victory as a reward for his clutch relief pitching when Bill Robinson homered for the Pirates in the ninth inning to beat the Mets, 2-1. The Pirates scored their initial run in the opening frame on singles by Omar Moreno and Dave Parker around an infield out. Lee Mazzilli tied the score with a homer in the seventh.
