Pirates Deal Astros 8-5 Defeat
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Houston Astros, 8-5, at Minute Maid Park. Peter Alonso, who led the NL in home runs with 47 in 2021, starred for Pittsburgh. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Nick Pivetta, who threw 89 pitches over 5.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 3 hits. The 4th-place Pirates bumped their record to 46-61.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Greg Allen? The Pittsburgh center fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Pirates on top, 3-2. For the game, Allen had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Allen. "It sure beats the alternative."
