Pirates Top Dodgers 5-2 to Begin WC
The Pittsburgh Pirates faced a tough opponent in Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax, but did just enough to pull out a win in Game 1 of the Wildcard, which they now lead 1-0. The Pirates won 5-2 at Dodger Stadium 1962-2013, despite the Dodgers getting a strong start from left-hander Koufax, who went 7 innings and allowed 1 run.

Pittsburgh used the clutch hitting of Darrell Porter to capture the win. The catcher drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 5-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"Every team in baseball loses," Dodgers manager Brian Fahie said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dodger Stadium 1962-2013 in Los Angeles.
