The Pittsburgh Pirates faced a tough opponent in Kansas City pitcher Ty Hartshorn, but found a way to pull out the victory at Kauffman Stadium by a final score of 2-1 in 12 innings. Hartshorn went 9 innings and allowed 1 run. Zach Duke snagged the win in relief. He goes to 5-0 on the season. Charlie Hamilton suffered the loss. Pittsburgh, at 35-39, sits in 5th place in the NL Central Division.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Carlos Ruiz to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Pirates on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Ruiz.
