In a low-scoring affair between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets, pitcher Chase Dollander was the difference between victory and defeat. The Pittsburgh right-hander earned accolades in the 2-1 Pirates win. Dollander picked up the win for Pittsburgh, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 10-6. David Bednar sewed up the save, his 26th.

Pittsburgh took a 2-0 lead on Jasson Dominguez's 18th home run of the season. The solo home run came off New York pitcher Jesus Luzardo in the top of the seventh.

In postgame comments to the Pittsburgh Chronicle, Dollander said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

Pittsburgh now sits in 6th place in the National League East Division at 57-64.
