Game Recap

Pittsburgh defeated Houston 8-1 in their September 23, 2012 meeting. Contributing significantly to the Pirates' victory was A.J. Burnett, who earned his 16th win of the season by allowing just one run over eight impressive innings on the mound. Offensively, Josh Harrison provided a major spark for Pittsburgh, tying his career high with four hits in the contest.
