A three-run homer by Dusty Baker in the first inning triggered the Dodgers' 3-2 decision over the Pirates. Baker's blast followed singles by Steve Sax and Jorge Orta. Winning pitcher Jerry Reuss was lifted in the seventh and Steve Howe came on to earn the save. The crowd of 41,594 boosted the L.A. home attendance to 1,040,208 for 24 dates, making the Dodgers the first team in the majors to go over the million mark. [The Sporting News]
