PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ke'Bryan Hayes drove in three runs for the third straight game, Liover Peguero knocked in two and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past the Atlanta Braves 7-5 on Thursday.
Pittsburgh salvaged a split of a four-game series with the NL East leaders by overcoming an early four-run deficit behind Hayes and a strong effort out of the bullpen by Thomas Hatch (1-0).
Hatch, claimed off waivers from Toronto on Sunday, worked four scoreless innings in relief of Bailey Falter to earn his first victory in nearly three years. Colin Holderman worked around an RBI single by Ronald Acuña Jr.
