Reggie Smith homered with two men on base in the fifth inning when the Dodgers erupted for five runs to defeat the Pirates, 6-1. Steve Yeager hit for the circuit to produce the Dodgers' initial run in the third. Burt Hooton, who was the winner with help from Stan Wall, opened the sixth with a double and scored on a single by Davey Lopes. Bill Russell followed with a single ahead of Smith's homer. Rick Monday batted in the last run with a single before the inning ended. [The Sporting News]
