PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Pedro Alvarez socked a go-ahead, three-run homer in the third Saturday and the Pittsburgh Pirates went on to defeat Houston 6-4.

Jose Tabata and Ryan Doumit each came through with run-scoring singles in the fifth to ice the victory, just the third win for the Pirates in 14 tries against the Astros.
