Nine innings were not enough for the Cleveland Indians to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. After a shorter outing from both starters, the bullpens picked up their respective team’s, pitching a stalemate after the Indians and Pirates traded blows through the first five innings on offense.
In the top of the tenth, Carlos Santana hit a shot to left field that sailed just over the foul pole to give the Indians a 6-3 win after Brad Hand got the save to end it later that inning.
The Indians went down in order to start the game, however the Pirates were able to get a run on the board in the bottom of the first.
