Eddie Herrera made an impact in the 6-5 New York win over Pittsburgh. Herrera went 3-3 with a triple, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 2. Tony Sanchez snagged the win in relief. He goes to 6-3 on the season. Jose Gonzalez suffered the loss. John Rood picked up the save for New York, his 42nd of the year.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Chris Pongratz came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Pittsburgh pitcher Jose Gonzalez, he hit a 3-1 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 6-5.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Herrera told the New York Chronicle.

With this game in the books, New York is 74-84, Pittsburgh 93-66.
