The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at PNC Park, topping the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-4. On the mound for Minnesota was right-hander Michael Soroka. He played a principal role in the triumph. The last-place Twins own a record of 22-43.

Bryce Harper came through with a big-time hit for Minnesota. The first baseman smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 7-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I felt good up there," said Harper. "I saw the ball well."
