Chirinos Slugs Pirates to 8-4 Win
Pittsburgh catcher Robinson Chirinos was a significant contributor in his team's 8-4 triumph over the Washington Nationals. He slugged 2 home runs for Pittsburgh. The save was credited to Ryan Pressly, his 1st. The Pirates have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 10th win in 31 games.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the seventh, with the game tied, Jake Lamb was at the plate when Pittsburgh scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Pirates to go in front, 4-3.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Lamb told the Pittsburgh Herald. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
