The Pirates defeat the Reds, 4 – 2, behind A.J. Burnett’s 12-strikeout performance. Jason Grilli records his first save since going on the disabled list in late July to put the Bucs one game ahead of the Reds.

Mariners left fielder Raul Ibanez’s 29th round-tripper, his 300th career home run, ties him with Ted Williams for the most hit in a season by a player who is 41 or older. The ‘Splendid Splinter’, in his final year as a major leaguer, hit that many in 1960 playing with the Red Sox.
