Suwinski, Pirates entertain sellout crowd, spoiling Taillon's return
Jack Suwinski celebrates with Bryan Reynolds after hitting a two-run home run.It's been nearly three years since the last time the Pirates sold out PNC Park. Sure, it took a Bill Mazeroski bobblehead night, an appearance from Maz himself and the Yankees coming to town to pack 37,733 fans on the North Shore for the first sellout since July 20, 2019.
Regardless of any causality or excuse for it, the Pirates gave the home crowd -- whatever percentage supported the home club -- a night that reminded us how electric this place can be when it is filled to capacity, as they defeated the Yankees, 5-2.
