A single by Ron Cey drove home the winning run as the Dodgers outlasted the Pirates, 3-2 in 14 innings. Ken Landreaux began the Los Angeles 14th with a double. After Dusty Baker struck out and Steve Garvey was walked intentionally, Cey delivered the decisive hit. The Bucs had broken a 1-1 tie in the top of the 12th on a sacrifice fly by Omar Moreno, but the Dodgers retied the contest in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Garvey.
