Pirates Improve to 82-52 with 7-1 Win
The Pittsburgh Pirates went home winners at PNC Park, thanks in large part to starter Justin Thompson. Thompson stifled the Atlanta Braves, enabling Pittsburgh to grab the 7-1 win. The NL Central Division-leading Pirates have a record of 82-52.

Barry Bonds was vital part of the Pittsburgh win. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the third with one out, Bonds hit a 3-run home run. It made the score 4-1, in favor of the Pirates.

"It's a mindset," said Thompson. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
