Washington Downed, 3-1, by Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates stopped the Washington Nationals, 3-1, at Nationals Park. The Pirates got a big game from Ricky Gonzalez, who slugged 2 home runs. Kyle Nichols, who is tied for 10th in the NL in holds with 9, was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Mike DeWolfe. Willie Lopez picked up the save, his 26th.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Kurt Villarreal to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Pirates on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Watch and learn," said Villarreal. "This is what good pitching looks like."

With this game in the books, Pittsburgh is 56-34, Washington 39-53.
