One run was the difference at Griffith Stadium as the Pittsburgh Pirates
defeated the Washington Nationals 9 to 8.

The Washington fans didn't appreciate the big day Yogi Berra had.  He singled
in the 1st inning, doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 3rd inning and
cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 7th inning.  Washington had
a chance in the 9th but they came up short.  

Allie Reynolds(6-13) got the win allowing 5 runs in 7 innings. Dizzy
Trout(0-1) took the loss in relief.  He allowed 3 runs and 3 hits in 1 and
2/3 innings.  

With this win, Pittsburgh has a 36-70 record.  They have been 5-5 lately.
With the loss Washington now has a record of 61-45.
