After blowing a 6-0 lead, the Pirates prevailed over the Dodgers, 7-6, on the strength of a seventh-inning solo homer by Dave Parker that snapped a 6-6 deadlock. Reliever Kent Tekulve stretched his string of not allowing a run to 10 appearances. Bill Madlock belted a two-run homer, Willie Stargell clouted a three-run blast and Ed Ott had a solo shot.
