Final Score: Pirates 5, Phillies 0
The Pirates hit three triples and scored five runs against Noah Syndergaard to avoid going winless in the season series against the Phillies. For Philadelphia, it snaps a six-game winning streak and drops them to 73-55. They’ll head out west for a six-game roadtrip that begins Monday night in Phoenix.
Pirates rookie shortstop Oneil Cruz drilled the second pitch of the game to center field past the diving Matt Vierling. The route to the ball wasn’t perfect, but it was hit off the bat at 110 mph. A single from Ke’Bryan Hayes to right field on the next pitch opened the scoring.
