In a gambling move, Manager Bobby Cox sent Jeff Burroughs to bat for Chris Chambliss in the eighth inning and the pinch-hitter came through with a three-run homer to give the Braves a 7-4 victory over the Pirates. Biff Pocoroba, also pinch-hitting, led off the stanza with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Gary Cooper. After a single by Gary Matthews and Bob Horner's forceout of Matthews, Burroughs greeted Pirate reliever Grant Jackson with his third pinch-homer of the season to bring the Braves their fifth straight victory.
