ATLANTA (AP) -- Clint Hurdle was managing to get one run in the 10th inning.
His Pittsburgh Pirates got it, then smacked three straight homers and added six more runs, leaving their manager struggling for an explanation.
Gift Ngoepe doubled to drive in Andrew McCutchen for the go-ahead run before Pittsburgh hit three straight homers during a seven-run 10th inning to beat the Atlanta Braves 12-5 on Wednesday night.
''Considering where we've been to this point of the season, it's nice to know that guys are still going up there battling,'' said Josh Harrison, who had a two-run single in the big inning.
