Pittsburgh Edges Tigers, 6-5, Lugo Clutch
In the 6-5 Pittsburgh win over Detroit, the impact of Matthew Lugo was substantial. Lugo, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2019 draft, went 4-4 with 2 triples and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Pittsburgh is now 47-54. Detroit is 41-60.

Had Aaron Schunk not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Schunk hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Pirates.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Schunk told the Pittsburgh Herald.
