Pirates Suffer 7-2 Setback
The Tampa Bay Rays faced a tough opponent in Pittsburgh pitcher Nate Karns, but did just enough to pull out the victory at PNC Park by a final score of 7-2. Karns went 5.2 innings and allowed no runs. Tampa Bay bumps their record to 16-28 with the win.

Had Jesús Pacheco not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Pacheco hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Rays.

"We'll sip on a cold one and savor this win," said Pacheco.
