Miller Swings Pirates to 6-4 Win
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-4, at PNC Park. Pittsburgh was led by former first round draft pick Pat Miller, who was 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Pittsburgh reliever Ernesto Mendoza picked up the win, upping his record to 2-3. Paco Rodriguez was saddled with the loss. Joe Kaiser converted his 27th save in 39 tries.

Miller had a big at-bat with the bases empty in the bottom of the fifth inning, when he hit a solo home run. The Pirates went on to win.

"I felt good up there," said Miller. "I saw the ball well."

The second-place Pirates bumped their record to 67-73.
