Matt Capps blew a save, but got the win as the Pittsburgh Pirates held off the Reds to for an extra inning win in Cincinnati.

The Pirates jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 6th inning after a pair of doubles and a sacrifice fly, but the Reds tied it up in the 8th after Brandon Philip's two run homer.

The score remained tied 3-3 into the 10th, when both teams scored to make it 4-4.

But in the 11th, the Pirates erupted for two more runs, and then held on for a 6-5 win.
