Pittsburgh Beats Milwaukee, 5-3
The Pittsburgh Pirates had to overcome a fine effort from Milwaukee pitcher Brett Cecil to win, 5-3, at Miller Park. Cecil went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. Clint Johnston, the winner, improved to 12-12. He held Milwaukee to 3 runs on 5 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 6 strikeouts. Hideki Okajima, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in holds with 18, earned the save for Pittsburgh.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jorge Fraga? The 28-year old second baseman Fraga stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Pittsburgh up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Fraga.

With the win, Pittsburgh has a record of 83-76. Milwaukee falls to 64-95.
