Titans Drop Steelers, 8-7
The Tennessee Titans outlasted the Pittsburgh Steelers, 8-7, in 10 innings. Tennessee third baseman Jose Rodriguez stood out with his performance. He belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Peter Miller earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 1.2 innings. His record is now 2-0. Picking up his 6th save was 31-year old right-handed pitcher Randy Jacobs.

Tennessee needed the clutch hitting of Jimmy Lethco to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Titans on top, 8-7. For the game, Lethco had 1 home run and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"It was a test of wills," said Jeff Hall, the Tennessee skipper. "I'm glad we came out of it with a win."

The Steelers, now 4-15, continue their inauspicious start.
