The slugging of Bill Robinson, who hit a homer with a man on base and another with the bases loaded, powered the Pirates to a 13-10 victory over the Cubs. Robinson's first drive followed a pass to Dave Parker and started the Pirates' scoring in the first inning. His grand slam in the fourth wound up a nine-run outburst that saw the Pirates send 13 men to bat in the process of snapping their five-game losing streak. [The Sporting News]
