GAME 3 - Forbes Field
Tom Glavine vs Steve Blass
Pirates 3, Braves 1
Steve Blass took a page out of Woodie Fryman's book and scattered 10 hits over 8 innings and notched himself a 3-1 victory. Blass didn't allow a free pass which forced the Braves to hit their way on. Atlanta got their "knocks", but just couldn't bundle them together. Tommy Glavine went 7 2/3 and gave up 3 runs, which turned out to be enough for Pittsburgh to hang on and win. The Bucs scored solo runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 6th innings. Ron Gant had a huge 3 for 4 day and scored Atlanta's lone run. Matty Alou, Jose Pagan and surprise starter (at catcher) Jerry May each had RBI singles. Pete Mikkelsen got back on the horse after falling off in game 1, and pitched a perfect 9th inning to get the save.
Pirates lead series 2-1
