Bill Madlock smashed a tie-breaking homer in the sixth inning as the Pirates edged the Giants, 3-2. The Bucs scored twice in the first inning when Lee Lacy reached first on a two-out error by third baseman Enos Cabell, Madlock walked and Mike Easler drilled a two-run double. Darrell Evans led off the Giants' fifth with a round-tripper and Joe Morgan hit a solo homer in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
