Tampa Bay (GCL) Sent Home with 6-4 Loss
The Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates defeated the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays, 6-4, in part because of shortstop Armando Rivera. Rivera was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles for the Pirates. Pittsburgh (GCL) reliever Dave Trainor picked up the win, raising his record to 5-4. Eddie Hines was tagged with the loss. Jared Lucier, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

Pittsburgh (GCL) used a well-timed hit by Alberto Argudo to capture the win. The pinch hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it was important.

"We took home the win," said Argudo. "What's not to like?"

The Pirates go to 30-32, putting them third in the Northwest Division.
