Another game, another loss for the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Washington Nationals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 9-3. Jorge Acosta starred for Washington, going 2-for-2 with 1 home run. Washington pitcher Luis Santos got the win, upping his record to 14-8. Charlie Russell got the loss.

With Washington leading 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Acosta hit a fastball from Ángelo Murphy for a grand slam home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and put the Nationals ahead, 8-1.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Acosta.

The losses continue to pile up for Pittsburgh, which has now fallen 14 times in a row.
