Pirates Earn 4-2 Road Win Over Minnesota (GCL)
The performance of Ryan Giardina proved critical in helping Pittsburgh (GCL) beat Minnesota (GCL), 4-2. The Pirates center fielder went 3 for 5 with 3 singles. The winner was Pittsburgh (GCL) reliever Francisco Cisneros, now 2-0. The loser was Mike Lawson. Aaron Coughlin finished the game for Pittsburgh (GCL) and earned his 7th save.

In the bottom of the ninth, Bryan Ruiz stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Twins were trailing 4-2, but had runners on 1st and 2nd. That's when Aaron Coughlin made a terrific pitch and Ruiz struck out. Gone was the dream of a Minnesota (GCL) comeback.

The Pirates' win now puts them at 28-24.
