Turner Owns Braves Manager Seat After 16 Losses
Ted Turner, Braves owner, took over as manager for a 10-day stretch amid a 16 game slide, but Atlanta fell 2 1 to Pittsburgh as Dave Bristol faced a limbo. Parker sparked Pittsburgh with his sixth homer and 22 game hitting streak while Turner watched from the dugout and left strategy to coaches. Pittsburgh won its 11th straight as Chaney’s ground rule double prevented extra innings.
