Pirates Earn 2-1 Win Against Nationals
The Pittsburgh Pirates took Washington pitcher Kirk Griffith's best shot and still were able to claim a win at PNC Park. The final score had Pittsburgh getting past the Nationals, 2-1. Griffith went 9 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 7. Pittsburgh reliever James Paxton picked up the win, upping his record to 8-1. Dominic Bingham took the loss. The Nationals, now 82-74, have lost 4 straight.

The Pirates procured the win, in large part because of third baseman Jake Lamb. In the bottom of the 13th, he produced the game-winning run-scoring single.

Lamb said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
