Pirates Suffer One-Run Loss at Washington
Washington beat Pittsburgh at Nationals Park, escaping with a 7-6 win. The win in large part was due to third baseman Johnny Piedra. He belted 2 home runs. Josh Stephens got credit for the save for Washington. It was his 30th of the year. The Nationals now have a record of 69-50.

With Washington leading 6-2 in the bottom of the eighth, Piedra batted against Pittsburgh pitcher Ryan Copeland. Piedra hit a curveball to right for a solo home run. His 21st home run of the season put the Nationals on top, 7-2.

"We found a way to get it done," Piedra said.
