Starter Alexis Torres allowed six, four earned, over two and two-thirds innings. Apart from seven hits, he also uncorked four wild pitches. The score was 6-1 going into the seventh, and final, inning, when Dioris Valdez, who appears to be a converted outfielder, gave up seven, five of them unearned. The Pirates had just two hits. Miguel Sosa homered, his second of the year, to account for the only run. Richard Ramirez had a double.
