For one of the very few times all season, the Pirates won a game after trailing after 8 innings. A Neil Walker blast tied the game at 4, sending it into extras and setting the stage for an absolute bomb by Garrett Jones in the 11th that one-hopped into the Allegheny River. Andrew McCutchen was also all over the place, hitting a 3-run dinger in the 3rd, and making a spectacular running catch of a long Pujols fly that prevented the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th. Jerry Meals briefly considered calling Garrett Jones out at home after his home run. Bucs look for the sweep tonight.
