Burnett was plagued by a lack of run support in his first five starts this year, but that was not the case Saturday. Andrew McCutchen homered in the first and Pedro Alvarez went deep in the second, and the Pirates rallied for four more runs off Harvey in the fourth.
Pittsburgh jumped all over Harvey, tagging him for seven runs in four innings. Harvey had never given up that many runs or exited as early in any of his previous 44 starts in the Majors.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Harrison sets tone, table: Knowing that hittable pitches might be few and far between against Harvey, the Pirates understood they'd have to be aggressive early in the count.
