A two-run rally in the 11th inning lifted the Dodgers to a 9-7 victory over the Pirates. Dusty Baker began the 11th with an infield single, took second on a sacrifice and scored on a pinch-single by Rick Monday. One out later, Monday reached third on a single by Steve Yeager and scored on a single by Bill Russell. The Pirates had deadlocked the game with a four-run outburst in the ninth that was climaxed by a three-run homer by Dave Parker. [The Sporting News]
