Pirates Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Dodgers, 2-1
Pitching was the name of the game in a tight contest between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Pittsburgh won it, 2-1. Pittsburgh starter Logan Allen was in command. Pittsburgh reliever Colin Poche picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Phil Bickford absorbed the loss. With the win, Pittsburgh goes to 64-70, while the Dodgers fall to 58-78.

Had Brett Baty not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Baty hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Pirates.

"Every loss stings," said Brooklyn manager Mike Dodgers. "This one is no exception."
