Alvarez's six RBIs power Pirates past Indians 9-5

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Pedro Alvarez had one of his best games yet. Still, it was a win by the Pittsburgh Pirates that had him really excited.

Alvarez drove in a career-high six runs with his second two-homer game in two days, powering Pittsburgh past the Cleveland Indians 9-5 Sunday.

Yeah, the Tribe got their butts kicked.

No problem -- Cleveland is still contending in the A.L. Central. I think it would be great for Pittsburgh to make the playoffs. The fans have suffered for a long time.
