CINCINNATI, May 25 (UPI) -- Ryan Doumit's ninth-inning homer Tuesday broke a tie and lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 victory over Cincinnati.
Nick Masset (3-3) relieved Arthur Rhodes with one out in the ninth in a 1-1 tie. After inducing Lastings Milledge to hit into a groundout, Masset served up a gopher ball to Doumit, who homered to right center to hand Pittsburgh the lead.
Octavio Dotel held the Reds scoreless in the bottom of the ninth to collect his 10th save. The win went to Jack Hanrahan (1-0), who blew a 1-0 lead in the eighth when Brandon Phillips touched him for a solo homer.
Pittsburgh starter Paul Maholm tossed seven shutout innings, holding Cincinnati to six hits.
Reds rookie pitcher Mike Leake allowed only one run over 7 1/3 innings but did not figure in the decision.
