Pirates Drop Rangers, 7-5
The 7-5 Pittsburgh win over Texas was due largely to Spencer Knight. The Pirates second baseman was 4 for 6 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Marcos Benítez earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.2 innings. His record is now 4-1. Pittsburgh improves to 69-55 with the win. They lead their division by 6 games.

Pittsburgh took a 7-5 lead on Zong-yuan Yue's 48th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Texas pitcher Rex Frazier in the top of the 13th.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Yue, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
