Aviators Prevail, 3-2, Over Pittsburgh
Carolina rode a good effort from starter Tarik Skubal to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates at American Airlines Field. The final score was 3-2. Bryan Baker, now 5-0, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on 2 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. Picking up the save was Seranthony Dominguez. He's now 18 for 23 in save chances.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Aviators had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the seventh, when second baseman Corey Seager hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Hunter Greene and made the score 3-2, Aviators. Seager went 1 for 1.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Skubal told the Carolina Observer.

With the win, Carolina upped its record to 45-41.
