Bullpen fails to hold a late lead as the Chicago White Sox drop their 5th straight, falling to the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-3

The Sox appeared headed for a dramatic win after Yasmani Grandal’s pinch-hit, three-run home run in the top of the seventh. The homer, his 11th, gave the Sox a 3-2 lead.

Garrett Crochet replaced starter Lucas Giolito and allowed consecutive singles to begin the bottom of the seventh. Kevin Newman bunted to third for another hit. Yoán Moncada threw wildly to first on the play and Gregory Polanco scored to tie the game.

Phillip Evans scores on a two-run single behind White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal during the Pirates' four-run seventh inning Tuesday at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
