The Pittsburgh Pirates had to overcome a fine effort from Tampa Bay pitcher Brendan McKay to grab a narrow 3-1 win at Tropicana Field. McKay went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. Pittsburgh reliever Keone Kela was credited with the win, to go to 1-0. Nick Anderson took the loss for Tampa Bay. The Pirates have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 1st win in 3 games.

Pittsburgh used a clutch hit from JT Riddle to get the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Riddle.
