Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at George Brett Dome.

Getting a good performance from second baseman Mychal Calhoun, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Kansas City Royals, 12-7. Calhoun went 4 for 6 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs for the Pirates. Lance Pacheco snagged the win in relief. In 2 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on no hits. He's now 3-1 on the season.

Pittsburgh used a clutch hit from Dave Griffin to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 10-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Griffin.

Pittsburgh has now won 4 straight.
