The Pittsburgh Pirates pasted the Detroit Tigers with a convincing 11-2 defeat at Comerica Tigers Park. Ji-man Choi was a prime factor in the Pittsburgh win. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The winning pitcher was 28-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Taylor. He tossed 99 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits. Pittsburgh has run its win streak to 5 straight.

With Pittsburgh leading 2-0 in the top of the second, Choi hit a fastball from Tim Woods for a grand slam home run. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 6-0.

"There's a lot of passion in our clubhouse," said Choi. "When we put it together we're a great ball club."
