Hawkins Helps Pirates Defeat Braves, 9-5
Thanks in large part to left fielder Kevin Hawkins, the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Atlanta Braves, 9-5. Hawkins was 4 for 4 with a triple, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The first-place Pirates, at 81-54, lead the National League East Division by 12½ games.

In the bottom of the first inning, the Pirates grabbed the lead when Kyle Damm rapped a two-out single. Pittsburgh was trailing 1-0, when Damm hit a 2-run single off Tim Hall to put his team in front, 2-1.

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