For the second time in three games, Josh Harrison scores the walk-off run for the Pirates. On Tuesday, he hit a game winning home run in the bottom of the ninth. In the bottom of the tenth Thursday afternoon he singled leading off the inning, and scored when with two outs, Russell Martin hit a 3-2 pitch into left for the game winning single. The Pirates sweep Miami with the 5-4 victory and have won five in a row. Pittsburgh needs just 12 more wins for their first season with a winning record in over 20 years. Their first division title since that last winning season in 1992 is a real possibility, too.

The only cold first-place team right now appears to be Oakland. The others are using early August heat to cement their positions as division leaders.
