Pirates Get Road Win, 9-1
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Kansas City had no answer for Pittsburgh Pirates starter Kelly Downs, who flummoxed Royals hitters as the Pirates cruised to a 9-1 victory. With the win, Pittsburgh goes to 9-9.

Jeff King came through for the Pirates in the top of the fourth inning. With Pittsburgh leading 1-0, the third baseman had a 2-run home run.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Stephen Ginter said.
