The Pittsburgh Pirates managed to get by the Minnesota Twins, 6-5, at Three Rivers Stadium. Pittsburgh right fielder Tony Gwynn took player of the game honors. David Nied, the winner, improved to 1-2. He held the Twins to 5 earned runs on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 5. Bryan Harvey was credited with the save for Pittsburgh, his 7th of the season.

Gwynn had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a 0-2 fastball from Steve Karsay, he banged a solo home run to left-center, giving the Pirates a 6-5 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Gwynn.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Gwynn.

The Pirates raised their record to 13-7.
