Chargers Drop Steelers, 2-1
San Diego got a first-rate effort from pitcher Ernesto Roman, who frustrated Pittsburgh hitters en route to a 2-1 Chargers triumph at Heinz Field. Jimmy Morgan sewed up the save, his 2nd. San Diego is now 16-10.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bill Todd? The San Diego center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Chargers on top, 2-1. For the game, Todd had 1 double and 2 singles in 3 at-bats.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Roman. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."
