Pirates Bomb Hershiser and Beat Dodgers, 7-4

Barry Bonds homered twice off Orel Hershiser, and Bobby Bonilla hit a three-run home run Thursday night to power the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-4 victory over the Dodgers.

Pirate starter John Smiley (3-2) had one bad inning, allowing three runs on four hits in the fourth. The Dodgers didn’t get another hit until there were two out in the eighth.

Smiley finished with a seven-hitter, walked four and struck out five in his first major-league complete game.

Hershiser (6-1) surrendered 12 hits, including 3 for 4 performances by Bonds and Jose Lind, and a 2 for 3 by Rafael Belliard. It was the most runs allowed by Hershiser this year.

Bonds’s seventh and eighth homers gave the Pirates a 3-0 lead. Bonds led off the game with a homer for the 11th time in his career and the third time this season.

Belliard started the third with a single and Smiley sacrificed before Bonds drove a 3-and-2 pitch from Hershiser into the right center-field seats.

The Dodgers scored three times in the fourth to tie the score. With one out, Pedro Guerrero singled, the Dodgers’ first hit, and went to second on Mike Marshall’s single. Mike Davis singled home Guerrero with two out and Rick Dempsey doubled in two runs.

Pittsburgh went ahead, 4-3, in the fifth. With one out, Bonds singled and went to third on Lind’s single before Andy Van Slyke’s sacrifice fly.

The Pirates broke open the game in the seventh. Lind and Van Slyke singled before Bonilla hit his 10th homer of the season, tying Darryl Strawberry of the New York Mets for the major-league lead.

Steve Sax’s run-scoring single in the ninth brought home the final run.

The Pirates swept the two-game set in Pittsburgh with the Dodgers after losing a three-game series in Los Angeles in which they were outscored, 28-14.
