Pirates blast two clutch homers to down Cardinals 7-5

The Pittsburgh Pirates moved back to two games over .500 with a come-from-behind victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night after a clutch three-run homer from Ke’Bryan Hayes and a subsequent solo shot from Josh Palacios.

After falling in a 5-0 hole, the Bucs got one back in the sixth before a massive seventh-inning surge that saw them take home the victory.

First, a double from Carlos Santana scored Tucapita Marcano and Andrew McCutchen to make the score 5-3. Then, the Hayes homer scored Santana and Jack Suwinski to give Pittsburgh the lead.
