"Big swing. Very timely," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Alvarez's second walk-off hit of the year. "Good for him and good for us. Fun to watch."
The same couldn't necessarily be said for the Pirates' results with the bases loaded earlier in the game, however. They pieced together three straight hits off Clayton Kershaw to begin the fourth inning, but the only run they scored was on Stewart's game-tying walk.
It happened again in the eighth, when they had three chances with the bases loaded to plate the go-ahead run.
