Pirates pitcher gets win with Washington victory

HOUSTON — An error by Miguel Tejada in the 11th inning made former Nationals reliever Joel Hanrahan a winner Thursday night in the completion of a suspended game as Washington beat the Houston Astros 11-10.

Hanrahan was traded by the Nationals June 30 to the Pittsburgh Pirates as part of a deal for Nyjer Morgan, who scored the winning run Thursday. Hanrahan (1-1) was on the mound when the game was suspended by rain in Washington on May 5.

The game resumed with one out in the bottom of the 11th with a Washington runner on first base.
