The Pittsburgh Pirates faced a tough opponent in Atlanta pitcher Clayton Kershaw, but still scratched out a win at Turner Field by a final score of 4-3 in 10 innings. Kershaw went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. Enmanuel Duran earned the save for Pittsburgh, his 2nd. Pittsburgh goes to 11-10.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Russell Martin to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Pirates on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The game is never over 'til it's over," said a jubilant Robby Thompson, the Pittsburgh skipper.
