This one wasn't nearly as close as the final score looks. The Pirates were up 8-0 after five innings. Both Tony Pena and Jim Morrison had three hits and a RBI, but it was Lee Lacy who had the biggest day. He recorded two hits, three walks, a run scored, a stolen base, two runs and a RBI.

Starters Joe Niekro and Jaquin Andujar were both dealing the nasty cheese in this pitcher's duel. Andujar got lifted with one out in the eighth in favor of all-world reliever Bruce Sutter, but Niekro was still in the game in the top of the ninth. Willie McGee had a lead-off single and reached third on a pick-off attempt by Joe Niekro, who nabbed Tommy Herr with a similar move in the second inning. George Hendrick singled him home as the next batter and Sutter shut down the 'stros 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth to record the win.
