Pirates hold on, beat Nationals 6-4
The Pittsburgh Pirates moved back to the .500 mark Saturday evening with a 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals.
Backup catcher Andrew Knapp got the offensive rhythm started in the second inning with an RBI double to score Jake Marisnick and a Cole Tucker single to bring him home.
Starting pitcher Bryse Wilson kept the Buccos in the game, pitching one-run ball until the fifth inning before Juan Soto took him deep to tie the game. That ended Wilson’s night after 4.1 innings allowing four hits and two runs.
