Pirates Pick Up 2-1 Win
Pittsburgh rode a fine outing from starter Cyrille Menacho to victory over the Kansas City Royals at PNC Park. The final score was 2-1. Pittsburgh is now 71-54, Kansas City 48-77.

The Royals had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Pirates going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old first baseman Gene Zacher came to the plate. Zacher hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch curveball from Kansas City hurler Juan Cabrera. It was Zacher's 4th home run of the year.

"It all depends on which version of our team shows up," said Zacher. "When we put it all together, I think we're a great team."
