Pirates Squeeze By Detroit, 6-5
Leody Taveras had a good game, but he could not keep the Detroit Tigers from falling, 6-5, to the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. The Detroit center fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 in the loss. The Pirates improved their record to 44-58 with the win over Detroit.

Anthony Volpe was the walk-off hero for Pittsburgh. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Pirates shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Detroit manager Chris C. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
