Fernando Romero got credit for the win, improving to 1-6. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 8 innings. Seranthony Dominguez converted his 18th save in 24 tries.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Bruce said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."

Pittsburgh has now won 4 straight.
