Pirates Come Back Late to Clip Red Sox
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Boston Red Sox, 6-3, in National League action at Fenway Park, with Pittsburgh pitcher James Paxton named player of the game. Pittsburgh goes to 33-23. The win puts them 3 games up in their division.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Vada Pinson to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Pinson called the triumph "a good team win."
