The Pittsburgh Pirates got a two-homer night out of Michael Chavis, with the second one coming in the eighth inning to bring the Buccos back into the game, but they would get no closer in a 6-4 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Chavis hit his first dinger in the sixth, a two-out shot that got the Buccos on the board and trimmed Arizona’s lead to 2-1.
Prior to that, the Diamondbacks got two off of starter Zach Thompson, who went four and two-thirds innings, giving up two runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
