Young bats rescue dusty arms in 6-4 win

The San Francisco Giants opened their 3-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, their 11-game, 4-city road trip, and their second half with a back-and-forth 6-4 win.

Part maddening and part invigorating, San Francisco’s pitching lost what the bats gained twice before RBI knocks from Patrick Bailey and Luis Matos in the 7th put the Giants in the lead for good.
