Pirates Make Royals 5-4 Losers
The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, taking down the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. Starting pitcher Arturo Santos was a big reason why. Quentin Lano, who is tied for 8th in the NL in saves with 25, nailed down the save. The Pittsburgh winning streak has reached 3 games.

Pittsburgh took a 5-2 lead on Ivano Tuchkov's 9th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Tuchkov hit in the top of the ninth, left Kansas City pitcher Mikkel Stenstad visibly frustrated.

"I was just trying to execute one pitch at a time," said Santos.
