Rizzo Helps Pirates Beat Expos, 10-7
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Montreal Expos, 10-7, at Olympic Stadium 1977-2004. The win was due in part to first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Pittsburgh reliever Corey Kluber picked up the win, raising his record to 10-1. Adam Kolarek was tagged with the loss. Pittsburgh goes to 89-67. The win puts them 4½ games up in their division.

Rizzo had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the seventh, when he drew a walk. The Pirates went on to win.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Rizzo.
