David Bednar blew his first save of the season for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but some clutch performances by several Buccos and an error by the Los Angeles Dodgers got him the win instead as the Pirates were winning early, blew the lead, got it back, and then almost lost it again in a 6-5 late night victory over the Dodgers.
The Pirates have played very well against L.A. this year, and they bounced out to an early lead in the second on a three-run shot by Tucupito Marcano, the first of his career.
Tucupita Marcano just hit his first Major League home run!
