Wild finish

Freddy Sanchez scores the go-ahead run in the top of the 9th on a wild pitch.

The Pirates won their 5th straight tonight, bringing their record to 19-21, as they crawl their way back to .500

Paul Maholm went 6 innings, gave up 4 hits, 1 run, and struck out 7.

Andy LaRoche went 3-4.

Freddy Sanchez went 2-4 and scored in the top of the 9th to put the Pirates ahead 2-1 when Joel Hanrahan threw a bases loaded wild pitch.

John Grabow earned the win and Matt Capps the save in the bullpen's 3 inning, 2-hit, shutout performance.

The Nationals committed 2 errors tonight, 6 in the series so far.

The Pirates offense has been rather hot in the nation's capital...31 hits in 3 games.

Snell is on the mound tomorrow as the Pirates look for the 4 game sweep of the Nats and to extend their win streak to 6.
