Rallying in the sixth inning, the Pirates scored four runs to defeat the Expos, 6-4, for only their second victory in the last 11 games. Trailing, 4-2, the Pirates loaded the bases against Steve Rogers and scored one run on a wild pitch.

John Milner then batted for Enrique Romo and singled to drive in two runs. Omar Moreno followed with a single and when Expos shortstop Chris Speier threw the ball away in handling the relay, Milner came home. [The Sporting News]
