The Pittsburgh Pirates scored three runs on Wednesday night and that was enough to beat the San Francisco Giants and Barry Zito.
Phil Dumatrait earned the victory over the Giants and improved to 1-1 on the season. Dumatrait pitched 5 2/3 innings while giving up three hits and no runs. Tyler Yates, Damaso Marte, and Matt Capps all pitched in relief of Dumatrait. Capps was the only reliever to give up runs as he gave up one earned run on three hits. Capps still picked up his seventh save of the season however.
Xavier Nady had two RBI for the Pirates as he had a two run home run and grounded into a double play to score another run. Nady was all the offense had and for that matter all the needed against the Giants.
