The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Washington Nationals, 7-5, in 10 innings at Nationals Park. Pittsburgh shortstop Oneil Cruz led the way. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. David Bednar, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 8th save. With their winning streak at 4, the Pirates have raced to a strong start this season.

Cruz had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 0-1 fastball from Keegan Akin, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Pirates a 7-5 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Cruz.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Cruz.
