Mendoza Blasts Braves, Pirates Take Game 1, 8-6
The Pittsburgh Pirates powered past the hometown Atlanta Braves, 8-6, in the opener of the Wildcard Series at Turner Field today. Pittsburgh right fielder Raul Mendoza was 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2, to lead the charge. The Pirates now lead the series 1-0.

Pittsburgh used the clutch hitting of Eisse Bravenboer to capture the win. The catcher drilled a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Pirates ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Mendoza.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Turner Field in Atlanta.
