The Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. The hitting star was shortstop Chiel Palstermans. Palstermans went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Pirates. Stan Stirnweiss, the winning pitcher, improved to 15-12. He pitched 7.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 8 and walking 4. At 86-75, Pittsburgh is in second place in the National League Central Division.

Pittsburgh took a 5-3 lead on Palstermans's 34th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which he hit off Chris Irvin in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Pittsburgh to the win.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Kansas City manager Chris Stephan.
