The Pittsburgh Pirates flawlessly executed a pitching plan with an effective first inning from Mason Montgomery, followed by six shutout innings from Carmen Mlodzinski in a 2-0 win over the Washington Nationals at PNC Park on Wednesday night.

Scoring Plays​


Bottom 1st, 2-0 PIT: The Pirates (11-7) struck for two runs against Nats starter Jake Irvin (1-2). Marcell Ozuna plated Bryan Reynolds with a base hit to right field and Nick Gonzales legged out an infield single, which allowed Ryan O’Hearn to score from third base.

Key Moments​
