Scoring five runs in the ninth inning, the Pirates were able to defeat the Dodgers, 6-2. The Pirates took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a wild pitch by Don Sutton and maintained that slim edge until the ninth when they broke loose against Dodger relievers Ken Brett and Dave Patterson. Omar Moreno and Dave Parker each hit a two-run single. The Dodgers then counted their pair too little and too late when Gary Thomasson walked and Joe Ferguson homered.
