PITTSBURGH -- The final play of Chad Kuhl's Major League debut summed up his triumphant outing. After a wild pitch bounced off the brick behind home plate in the fifth inning, catcher Chris Stewart chased the ball down and tossed it to Kuhl, who didn't hesitate as he caught the ball and lunged head-first to tag out Justin Turner at home plate.
Kuhl tagged Turner in the chest, hopped up and fist-pumped his way back to the dugout. He had outdueled Clayton Kershaw, leaving after five innings with a 4-3 lead, and four scoreless innings from the Pirates' bullpen helped him to his first Major League win.
