					| Pittsburgh Tops Milwaukee, 5-1 |  
					| Pittsburgh Pirates starter Tim Wichman was in fine form against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park, leading his team to a win, 5-1. The winning pitcher was Wichman, now 7-4. He tossed 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 6. Pittsburgh improves to 61-39 with the win. They lead their division by 8½ games. 
 Pittsburgh used the clutch hitting of Mike Bates to capture the win. The third baseman drilled a 3-run  home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 5-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a big one.
 
 "Tim was Tim," said Pirates manager Kevin Giles. "He gave it all he's got."
