To the surprise of all fans, the Pittsburgh Pirates stunned the Los Angeles Dodgers again on Tuesday as all facets combined for a 5-3 win.
The Bucs set the tone early thanks to a two-run home run by Michael Chavis that drove in Ke’Bryan Hayes. The blast was his fifth of the year. Tucupita Marcano followed that up with a two-run shot of his own in the second to give the Pirates a four-run lead.
Bryan Reynolds added an insurance run with a RBI double in the ninth.
Among the underrated heroes in last night’s game, Los Angeles-native Tyler Heineman went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs, while Jack Suwinski stopped a potential Dodgers rally with a spot-on throw from right field in the second.
