It’s not about how you start a series, it’s how you finish it.
Facing the wrong end of a series sweep against the San Francisco Giants, the Pittsburgh Pirates salvaged a 4-3 win in the series finale on Sunday on the heels of a three-home run day by outfielder Jack Suwinski.
After Hoy Park homered off Alex Cobb to tie it in the third, Suwinski hit his first in the fourth to give the Pirates a one-run lead. His second came in the sixth off reliever Sam Long to break a 2-2 tie, but it was his final home run that brought the house down.
