Ruiz Good, But Not Good Enough, in 6-5 Loss
The Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a good performance by Washington catcher Keibert Ruiz to knock off Washington, 6-5, at Nationals Park. Ruiz went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Pittsburgh is now 2-4.

The outcome might have been different for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Ke'Bryan Hayes, the 27-year old third baseman . Hayes stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It's a long season," said Hayes. "We'll keep working to improve."
