Threatened by yet another sweep, the Pittsburgh Pirates got some strong pitching in a bullpen game and came away with a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
The Diamondbacks opened the scoring in the first inning after a throwing error by Austin Hedges allowed Geraldo Perdomo to score. Ji Man Choi got the run back in the second with a two-run home run to center field.
