Pirates end May with series win over Giants

It’s not how you start a month, it’s how you finish it.

The Pittsburgh Pirates capped off a gloomy month of May with a 9-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. The win not only gave the Bucs their first series win of the month, but it also put them back above .500 and possibly back in first place in the NL Central. That depending on how the Milwaukee Brewers fare against the Toronto Blue Jays.

After the Giants opened the scoring with a run in the second, Andrew McCutchen knotted the game at one in the third with a double to left.
