A three-run first inning triggered the Pirates to a 6-4 victory over the Giants as Bibby, although needing relief help, upped his record to 13-1. Pittsburgh's runs in the opening frame came on an RBI single by Mike Easler and two-run single by Phil Garner. Tim Foli stroked a two-run single in the fourth and Bibby accounted for the final Bucs marker with a fifth-inning single. [The Sporting News]
