Throwing errors by Steve Garvey and Tom Paciorek after Mario Mendoza bunted in the ninth inning enabled the Pirates to score two unearned runs to defeat the Dodgers, 5-3. Manny Sanguillen opened the stanza with a single off Mike Marshall. Mendoza followed with his bunt for a sacrifice and when Garvey threw the ball into right field, Sanguillen reached third.

Paciorek, who fielded the errant throw, then fired wildly to second base, allowing Sanguillen to score. Mendoza took second and, after a sacrifice by Dave Giusti, scored an insurance run on a sacrifice fly by Rennie Stennett. [The Sporting News]
