Starting pitcher Josh Ambrose was a major factor in the 5-2 Pittsburgh Pirates triumph over the Kansas City Royals. Pittsburgh is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Brad Pepin, who led the AL in slugging percentage with .741 in 2039, contributed to the Pittsburgh win with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I thought we played a nice game," Pepin told the Pittsburgh Today. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
