Pirates Improve to 88-62 with 8-6 Win
Pittsburgh right-hander Victor Gonzalez pitched his team to victory over the Washington Nationals at PNC Park. The final score was 8-6. Willie Lopez closed the game out for Pittsburgh, earning his 38th save. The National League East Division-leading Pirates have a record of 88-62.

Jesse Wheaton had a big bases-clearing double for the Pirates in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Pittsburgh leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 25-year old left-handed pitcher Gene Glaus and swatted a double to center. It was his 39th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pirates ahead, 7-1.

"We ground out the win," said Wheaton. "That's all that matters."
