Driving in three runs with a single and homer, Bill Robinson paced the Pirates to a 6-1 decision over the Mets. The first Buc run came in the first inning when Tim Foli singled, stole second and scored on a single by Robinson. Dave Parker led off the fourth frame with a two-base hit and came home when Robinson drilled a 1-1 pitch into the left field bullpen to break the 1-1 tie. [The Sporting News]
