Pittsburgh Pirates (93-62) 0 0 0 0 3 1 1 2 X 7 12 1
Nationals Suffer 7-6 Setback
Due in large part to designated hitter Ralph Kiner, the Pittsburgh Pirates sunk the Washington Nationals, 7-6. Kiner went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Pittsburgh reliever Kent Tekulve snagged the win, upping his record to 9-2. Jeff Fassero shouldered the loss. Joel Hanrahan locked down his 38th save.

Pittsburgh took a 7-6 lead on Andrew McCutchen's 27th double of the season. The 2-run double, which McCutchen hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Washington pitcher Jeff Fassero visibly frustrated.

"I feel like we're rolling now," McCutchen told the Pittsburgh Times."The dugout is coming alive."

With the win, Pittsburgh raised its record to 93-62.
