The Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks held a scoreless stalemate through four-and-a-half innings in Sunday’s series finale, but the Bucs scored runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh to take the game, 3-0.

Cal Mitchell broke open the game’s scoring with a solo home run off Arizona starter Zac Gallen, marking the first of many home runs in his young career.

The Pirates added two insurance runs in the following innings thanks to a sacrifice fly by Diego Castillo in the sixth and a RBI single by Ke’Bryan Hayes in the seventh.
