PITTSBURGH -- Corey Dickerson broke a shutout stalemate, hitting a walk-off home run to left field against reliever Alex Wilson to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers Thursday at PNC Park.
The Tigers loaded the bases with nobody out in the top of the ninth but failed to score against Pirates reliever Felipe Vazquez.
In the bottom of the ninth, Wilson struck out Josh Bell and then gave up the home run to Dickerson on an 0-1 slider.
The Tigers squandered a brilliant performance by Michael Fulmer, who was brilliant through six innings, striking out nine batters and getting swings and misses on 24 of his 99 pitches.
