One night after blowing a lead to the San Diego Padres, the Pittsburgh Pirates returned the favor. Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a huge three-run, ninth-inning homer, and five Bucs pitchers combined to give up 10 hits, but just two runs in a 4-2 come from behind Pittsburgh victory.
But it was Hayes’ first home run of the year that was the big story in the top of the ninth. Hayes hit a towering shot to center off of San Diego closer Taylor Rogers with two on and one out for his third hit of the game.
