Pirates 6, Astros 1
PITTSBURGH — Charlie Morton took a shutout into the eighth inning, Lyle Overbay homered and the Pirates won for the fourth time in six games. Morton earned wins in consecutive starts for the first time in his career. At 4-1, he has already doubled his win total from last season, when he went 2-12 in 17 starts. Astros starter Bud Norris had a 14-inning scoreless streak snapped when Pittsburgh scored three in the second.
