The Pirates got a big at-bat from left fielder Brad Miller. For the game, Miller went 1-3 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the second, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 5th home run of the season gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead.

"We'll savor this win," Miller told the Pittsburgh Herald, "then get ready for the next game."

Pittsburgh, at 41-64, sits in last place in the National League Central Division.
