Firebirds Stick Pirates with 7-1 Loss
The Atlanta Firebirds topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-1, in National League action at SunTrust Park. The standout performance belonged to Atlanta pitcher and Glendale, Arizona, native Curt Wilkerson. In 5 innings, Wilkerson surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. Pittsburgh's current losing streak is now 4 games.

Brian Schales dealt the Pirates a blow in the bottom of the fourth. Batting with the bases loaded and Atlanta leading 2-1, Schales hit a 1-2 changeup for a run-scoring single.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Schales said. "And the same is true when you lose."
