BRADENTON, Fla. -- Edwin Espinal broke a game-long pitchers' duel between the Pirates and Rays with a three-run walk-off homer for Pittsburgh during a 4-1 win at LECOM Park on Friday.
Rays starter Matt Andriese issued a leadoff walk to Pirates second baseman Max Moroff, who stole second and came home on a David Freese single to put the Pirates up 1-0 in the first inning.
