Bobcats Suffer 5-3 Home Defeat
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cleveland Bobcats, 5-3, at Arhaus. Pittsburgh was led by 27-year old first baseman Johnny Sprous, who was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Gigi Wanyika was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 5 of 5 save opportunities. The first-place Pirates, at 70-50, now lead their division by 4 games.

There was more than one reason the Pirates beat the Bobcats, but Sprous's big at-bat in the top of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-0 lead when he hit a 2-run single.

Sprous called the win "a team effort."
