The Braves gained their first victory of the season on the road after eight defeats, and Phil Niekro was a winner for the first time in five decisions this year, scattering seven hits to beat the Pirates, 6-1. Chris Chambliss and Jeff Burroughs each drove in two runs. Jim Rooker, who started for the Pirates, faced only three batters, walking two, before leaving the mound with a pulled muscle in his shoulder.
