A pair of homers by Bill Robinson, including a two-run shot that climaxed a four-run rally in the eighth inning, powered the Pirates to a 5-4 triumph over the Dodgers. The Bucs trailed, 4-1, in the eighth when Steve Nicosia led off with a single and reached second when Dodger pitcher Jerry Reuss threw poorly to the bag after fielding a grounder by Manny Sanguillen.
