Associated Press via CBS Sports: the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Kansas City Royals 8–5 on Friday night at PNC Park. Rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin had four hits. Brandon Lowe homered. Pittsburgh piled up 15 hits and erased an early four-run hole, moving back to .500 at 77–77 in a bid for the franchise’s first winning season since 2018. The 20-year-old Griffin, who had missed two months with a left-hand injury, posted the third four-hit game of his career. His RBI single in the seventh off Nate Pearson (2–2) capped a three-run rally.
Yohan Ramirez (7–4) retired all four batters he faced in relief for the win. Gregory Soto worked the ninth for his 15th save, his first since Aug. 1. Paul Skenes allowed five runs in six innings with a walk and seven strikeouts; ERA 3.91. Vinnie Pasquantino and Michael Massey homered for Kansas City. Randy Dobnak, a Pittsburgh native, allowed four runs in 3 2/3. ESPN: attendance 25,424. Game time 2:42. Reds 6–4 already ran. Pirates 7–4 Brewers already ran.
