The Don Kelly era started on a high note as the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped a seven-game losing streak by defeating the Atlanta Braves 3-2 at PNC Park on Friday night.
Bailey Falter was excellent, and home runs from Alexander Canario and Jared Triolo helped pave the way to getting Kelly a win in his first game as manager.
The Pirates (13-26) will attempt to clinch a series win over the Braves (18-20) on Saturday in the second game of the series on the North Shore.
