Pirates Prevail, 3-2, Over Minnesota
The Pittsburgh Pirates did just enough to sneak past the Minnesota Twins, 3-2, at PNC Park. Pittsburgh pitcher Sam Richardson, in particular, had a standout performance. In 7.2 innings, Richardson surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 10 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. Tim Wichman earned his 1st save in 5 chances.

Mike Bates dealt the Twins a blow in the bottom of the fourth. Batting with a runner on 1st and Pittsburgh leading 2-1, Bates, the 9th overall pick in the 2039 draft, hit a 2-2 fastball for a run-scoring double.

"We played hard and won," said Richardson. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

Pittsburgh raised its record to 43-42 with the win.
