Pirates Come Back Late, Nip Royals
The Pittsburgh Pirates eked out a 5-4 win versus the Kansas City Royals at Royals Stadium. Nobody did more than catcher Charles Johnson, who captured player of the game honors. Pittsburgh reliever Bryan Clark picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Kevin Brown took the loss. Bryan Harvey earned his 2nd save in 2 tries.

Charles Johnson was involved in some late-game drama. With one out in the top of the ninth, Johnson hit a solo home run. It helped Pittsburgh snatch the win.

"I like our moxie," said Pirates manager Stephen Ginter.

With the win, Pittsburgh boosts its record to 3-2.
