The Pittsburgh Pirates did just enough to sneak past the Houston Astros, 5-4, at Minute Maid Park 2000-2016. Pittsburgh pitcher Yonny Chirinos, in particular, had a standout performance. Chirinos yielded 2 runs over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 5-3. Amir Garrett got the save, his 7th in 8 chances.

Pittsburgh shortstop Dansby Swanson contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the third. With two down, he hit a fastball to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 123rd hit of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 5-1.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Swanson said.

Houston has now lost 4 in a row.
