Jose Tabata hit a game-ending single with two outs in the 12th inning, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in a game without an extra-base hit.

Tabata smacked a sinking liner off of Danys Baez (1-3) into the hole on the right side that a lunging second baseman Chase Utley could not handle. Right fielder Ben Francisco's throw was not in time, giving Tabata his second RBI of the game when Xavier Paul scored from second. Paul had singling with two outs and stole a base.

Pittsburgh won for the third time in four games.

The Phillies lost their third consecutive game for only the second time this season, despite starter Cole Hamels allowing only one hit in eight innings.
