Pirates Turn Back Kansas City, 11-10
The Pittsburgh Pirates relied on the hitting of shortstop Jose Valentin to stop the Kansas City Royals, 11-10. For the game, Valentin went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Scott Sanders was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 6 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. The Pirates keep rolling, raising their record to 4-2.

Pittsburgh used the bat of Dean Palmer to get the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Pirates ahead, 5-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Stephen Ginter said.
