Ripping four San Francisco pitchers for 12 hits, the Pirates breezed to a 7-3 victory over the Giants. The Bucs scored in the second inning on a solo homer by Lee Lacy and added three runs in the third on a two-run triple by Bill Madlock and sacrifice fly by Jason Thompson. Tony Pena smacked a leadoff homer in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
