Dave Parker and Mike Easler delivered the key hits to power the Pirates to a 4-2 triumph over the Expos. The Bucs scored twice in the third inning on a double by Jim Bibby, single by Phil Garner and two-run double by Parker. Parker drilled another two-bagger in the eighth and Easler then connected for a two-run round-tripper. [The Sporting News]
