Red Sox Come Back Late, Nip Pirates
Boston withstood an impressive performance by Pittsburgh catcher Charles Johnson to defeat the Pirates, 5-4, at Three Rivers Stadium. Johnson was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Boston is now 64-79, while Pittsburgh is 72-71.

Boston used the timely hitting of Lee Stevens to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Pittsburgh manager Stephen Ginter.
