Taillon struggles in loss to Giants
David Freese drives in the Pirates' first run of the game with an RBI single to right field in the top of the 5th inningThe Pirates' loss snapped their seven-game winning streak at AT&T Park. The Giants laced starter Jameson Taillon for 10 runs (nine earned) in three-plus innings. Taillon's start was his shortest this season.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Not too fast: The Pirates opted to intentionally walk Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford -- loading the bases -- in the third before San Francisco cashed in. The walk did its job when Hunter Pence popped out, but Panik made the Pirates pay, roping a two-out triple to right-center, scoring Nunez, Posey and Crawford for a six-run cushion.
