Pirates undone by homers, defense in loss

The Bucs rallied to tie the game in the sixth but unraveled in the eighth. Second baseman Adam Frazier booted what would have been the third out of the inning, and Carter made him pay. Carter sent Felipe Rivero's 86-mph changeup into the bullpen in left-center field for a go-ahead three-run homer, his first of the year. Judge joined the Yankees' home-run derby in the ninth, ripping his sixth homer of the season a projected 457 feet, per Statcast™, into the second deck in left field.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Evened up: Down 3-0 in the sixth, the Yankees finally cracked Taillon.
