Johnny Groth, who finished 3rd in the NL in batting average with .276 last year, aided the Pittsburgh cause with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the third. For the game, the left fielder went 2-3 with a double and a walk.

"I like our moxie," said Pirates manager Cory Einhorn.

Pittsburgh is now 22-18, 2 games up in the National League Right.
