Pittsburgh (GCL) had no answer for Philadelphia (GCL) Phillies hurler José López, who overwhelmed Pirates hitters as the Phillies coasted to victory, 7-1. Earning his 6th save of the year was Jared Behar. Philadelphia (GCL) has an impressive 37-18 record.

López, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was dealing all game. He kept Pittsburgh (GCL) hitters off-balance, while giving the Phillies 7 quality innings. López threw 123 pitches, allowing 4 hits and striking out 14.

"I like winning," López told the Philadelphia (GCL) Gazette. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
