The Pittsburgh Pirates won their second straight game when a Michael Chavis double with bases loaded in the ninth inning scored Kevin Newman for a 5-4 walkoff victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
The Bucs were down 4-3 heading into the final inning, but Newman doubled to score Bligh Madris to tie the game. Newman also had an RBI in the seventh and also got Pittsburgh’s scoring started in the sixth when he came home on a wild pitch. It was a big night for Newman out of the lead off spot, as he’s been playing well lately.
