The Pittsburgh Pirates racked up a win at Oakland Coliseum, bumping off the Oakland Athletics, 6-3. Sean Melton, who started for Pittsburgh, pitched effectively for his team. Pittsburgh is now 52-59, Oakland 53-58.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Luis Rivera? The Pittsburgh third baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Pirates on top, 1-0. For the game, Rivera had 2 doubles and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Rivera told the Pittsburgh Citizen.
