					| On Road, Pirates Top Royals, 5-2 |  
					| The Kansas City Royals got a sterling performance from shortstop Jose Pacheco, but the Pittsburgh Pirates still prevailed, 5-2. Pacheco went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles,  and a walk. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for the Pirates. 
 Jordan de Jesus, the slick-fielding second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. de Jesus contributed a run-scoring  single in the top of the fifth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 2-1.
