Persevering Pirates overcome weather and other . . . issues . . . to win fifth straight
The Pirates survived a 90-minute rain delay, some rough outings from their bullpen and Clint Hurdle to pull out a 6-5 win over the Giants.
They once again jumped off to a 2-0 first-inning lead. A walk to Gregory Polanco, and a single and steal by Starling Marte, put two in scoring position with one out. Josh Bell hit a fly ball to fairly shallow left-center, but some indecision in the outfield and a poor throw let Polanco come home. Corey Dickerson then came through with a two-out single to plate Marte.
