Shelton's ejection embodies Pirates' fight in comeback win

But then there are moments like the seventh inning of Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers that might make you think this team is actually heading in the right direction.

In order for this one to go the Pirates' way, Derek Shelton had to make a tangible impact in this game, and it embodied everything that happened in that inning.
