One run was the difference at Raley Field as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Sacramento River Cats 9 to 8.
Ramon Hernandez(1-0) contributed a very nice performance in relief. He gave up just 2 hits and no walks in 2 innings. Sacramento threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.
Hernandez got help from Jim Brewer who earned his 1st save. The losing pitcher was Doug Bird(0-1) in relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning allowing 3 hits and 3 walks.
