The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, knocking off the Houston Astros, 6-2. Starting pitcher Rick Porcello played a key role in the triumph. The Pirates improved to 33-45.

Pittsburgh used the bat of Robinson Chirinos to get the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Pirates ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Chirinos.
