Four homers accounted for 10 runs and powered the Braves to a 13-4 victory over the Pirates. Bob Horner started the barrage with a solo swat in the first inning and Jeff Burroughs hit a grand slam in the second when the Braves piled up seven runs. Horner homered again with a man on base in the fourth and Mike Lum added three more runs with a circuit clout in the sixth.
