Thornton Helps Pittsburgh Cruise to 12-3 Win
The Pittsburgh Pirates bested the Detroit Tigers by a score of 12-3, with designated hitter Mike Thornton getting the main credit. On the day, Thornton went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 5 for the Pirates. Riichi Yamashita, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 4.1 innings. With the win, Pittsburgh raised its record to 22-20.

The Pirates got an important contribution from second baseman David Contreras, who in the bottom of the first knocked a 2-2 curveball into left for a bases-clearing double. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 5-0.

Contreras expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
