Cincinnati was unable to recover after Pittsburgh went ahead in the bottom of the 3rd inning plating an isolated run on 2 hits. That early run support was all that Billy Pierce(3-4) required. Neither team managed to score after the 3rd inning. Pierce got help from Ellis Kinder who earned his 8th save. Warren Hacker(2-3) was hit with the loss. He gave up 7 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.
