A two-out, two-run homer by Bill Madlock in the ninth inning lifted the Pirates to a 2-0 triumph over the Dodgers. John Milner doubled with one away and, one out later, Madlock cracked his round tripper. John Candelaria and Kent Tekulve combined on a four-hitter, ending the Dodgers' five-game winning streak.
