Pirates Stymie Chicago, Take 4-1 Win
Pittsburgh shortstop Jason Kipnis played a vital role in his team's 4-1 triumph over Chicago. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh starter Fernando Romero was credited with the win after throwing 75 pitches over 5.2 innings. His record now stands at 1-1. With the win, Pittsburgh has a record of 68-90. Chicago falls to 60-98.

Kipnis had no bigger at-bat than in the bottom of the fifth when the 32-year old shortstop hit a 2-run double. The double gave Pittsburgh the lead, 3-1. It was his 38th double of the season.

"I really like what we did out there today," Kipnis said after the game.
