Pirates Bang Out 8-3 Win Versus Texas
The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Texas Rangers by the score of 8-3, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Edgardo Alfonzo. Alfonzo was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Pirates on the day. Kevin Appier, credited with the win, is now 9-4. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 6 innings. Texas, at 37-40, has lost 4 straight.

Alfonzo hit a run-scoring single in the bottom of the third to help the Pittsburgh cause. The single, which was hit off Kenny Rogers, allowed Pittsburgh to take a 2-1 lead.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Alfonzo told the Pittsburgh Today. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
