PHILLIES PIRATES SATURDAY POSTGAME
It was a hot summer Saturday night at PNC Park, and the host Pittsburgh Pirates pitching cooled off the Phillies bats in a 5-1 victory.(Mjmalone54)The Pittsburgh Pirates (46-51) pitching cooled off the Philadelphia Phillies (51-48) bats on a steamy, hot summer night at PNC Park to give the hosts a 5-1 victory.
With the win, the Bucs rewarded the sellout crowd who showed up to pay homage to their 1979 Pirates club in celebration of the 40th anniversary of that “We Are Family” team winning the World Series.
As part of that celebration, both teams wore throwback uniforms. The Pirates adorned in black, the Phillies wearing their popular powder blues from that era.
