Back-to-back homers by Dave Parker and Willie Stargell ignited a four-run rally in the seventh inning that powered the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Astros. The Bucs trailed, 1-0, when Parker led off the seventh with a round-tripper and Stargell followed suit. John Milner then blasted a triple and scored on a single by Bill Madlock, who reached third when Cesar Cedeno misplayed a single by Ed Ott and scored on an infield grounder by Rennie Stennett.
