Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Erik Bedard allowed two hits over seven
scoreless innings to guide the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-0 win over the
Arizona Diamondbacks in the opener of a four-game set at PNC Park.
Bedard (6-12) struck out five and didn't issue a walk as he bounced back from
a rough outing against the Cubs on July 30. It was just his second win in his
last eight starts.
Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 and scored twice and Gaby Sanchez and Neil
Walker each drove in a run for the Pirates, who are 13-6 over their last 19
games. Rod Barajas and Travis Snider had an RBI apiece in the win.
Wade Miley (12-7) allowed one run on six hits and struck out two over six
innings to absorb the loss.
Paul Goldschmidt had the only two hits for the Diamondbacks, who have dropped
three straight tilts.
