PITTSBURGH — Bill Mazeroski threw out the first pitch. David Bednar froze one of the most feared hitters in baseball with the last.
In between, the Pittsburgh Pirates offered a fleeting glimpse of what they're trying to build, one that came at the expense of an old friend and briefly cooled off the hottest team in the majors.
Rookie outfielder Jack Suwinski hit his 14th home run, Daniel Vogelbach added his 11th and the Pirates spoiled Jameson Taillon's return to PNC Park with a 5-2 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
