Exploding for five runs in the ninth inning, the Pirates registered a 6-3 victory over the Expos. The Bucs were behind, 2-1, in the ninth but tied the game on consecutive doubles by Tim Foli and Dave Parker.

A single by Bill Madlock put runners on first and third and brought on Elias Sosa in relief of Woodie Fryman. Mike Easler then drove in the go-ahead run with a single that plated Parker. John Milner capped the rally with a three-run pinch-homer. [The Sporting News]
