Big Day by Miller Sparks Pirates Win
Pittsburgh second baseman Brad Miller made his presence felt in the 9-6 Pirates triumph over the Washington Nationals. Miller was 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Getting the save was Keone Kela, his 3rd. The Pirates, now 9-20, have not found much traction so far in 2018.

Ryan Zimmerman, who is tied for 6th in the NL in RBI with 22, aided the Pittsburgh cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the second. For the game, the first baseman drove in one run.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Pirates manager Corey Wehr. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."
