Josh Bell knew hit when he hit it. He took a hop step as his home run flew over the left-field fence, giving the Pirates a 5-2 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park Friday.
Adam Frazier poked a ball down the left-field line against Seung Hwan Oh in the ninth. Tommy Pham cut it off before it reached the corner, but Frazier still tried for second and just got there. After an out, the Cardinals intentionally walked Andrew McCutchen to bring up Bell.
Bell hit a 1-2 fastball the opposite way to end the game.
