Pittsburgh Triumphs with Late Surge
Oakland second baseman Erick Soto had a good game, even if his team did not. The Athletics dropped a 7-5 decision to Pittsburgh at O.co Coliseum. Soto was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The winner in relief was Bryan Bassett. He is now 10-2. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2.2 innings. By defeating Oakland, the first-place Pirates improved to 60-42.

Pittsburgh went up, 7-5, on Tomas Voivodic's 20th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Voivodic hit in the top of the ninth, left Oakland pitcher Nick Rodriquez shaking his head.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Voivodic told the Pittsburgh Today.
