Pittsburgh relied on the bat of Ryan Zimmerman to get the win. The third baseman produced a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Pirates ahead, 3-0. For the game, Zimmerman had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"James was pounding the zone," said Pittsburgh manager Ryan Donaldson.
