PITTSBURGH (AP) — Alex Presley singled home Mike McKenry with two outs in the bottom of the 10th to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.

Rod Barajas, brought in by the Pirates in the offseason to provide some power, doubled off Philadelphia reliever Joe Blanton (0-1) leading off the inning and pinch-runner McKenry came home three batters later when Presley beat out an infield single.

Juan Cruz (1-0), a non-roster invitee to spring training, won in relief. Presley had two of Pittsburgh’s six hits.
