| Pittsburgh starter James McDonald pitches his first career shutout, holding the Phillies hitless until Laynce Nix hits a pinch-hit double with one out in the 6th inning. It doesn't faze McDonald a bit though as that is the only hit he allows, plus helps himself out a bit at the plate by knocking home a run. Jim Thome makes the start at first base for the Phillies, the first start in the field for him since 2007 as he returns to Philly after an almost 10 year absence. Thome is just about old enough to be starter Vance Worley's father with a 17 year age difference between the two. |

James McDonald took a no-hitter into the 6th inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates
bested the Philadelphia Phillies 7 to 0 at PNC Park.
McDonald(1-0) was virtually untouchable. He allowed only 1 hit and 2 walks in
9 innings. The right-handed McDonald lost his no-hit bid when Laynce Nix
doubled with one out in the 6th inning. Pittsburgh had a total of 10 hits
for the game.
Vance Worley(0-1) was tagged with the loss. He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks in
5 innings. 'When McDonald is on like that it is a tough game to play, no
doubt about it,' Charlie Manuel said. 'He always pitches well against us.'
