PITTSBURGH, April 7 (UPI) -- Rod Barajas belted a lead-off double in the 10th inning and later scored the winning run in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 2-1 decision over Philadelphia Saturday.
Barajas blasted a pitch from Joe Blanton (0-1) off the center field wall, missing a game-winning home run by inches.
He went to third on a Clint Barmes sacrifice and two batters later raced home on Alex Presley's infield hit, boosting the Pirates to their first victory of the season.
Jeff Karstens started for Pittsburgh and yielded only one run over six innings. Juan Cruz (1-0) picked up the victory with a scoreless top of the 10th.
Cliff Lee allowed one run over six frames for the Phillies.
Hunter Pence drove in the Phillies' only run with a first-inning single.
