Jamison Taillon delivered another strong outing on the way to a game one victory in Atlanta. He allowed two runs over seven innings before turning the ball over to the late inning guys who shut the door. Pittsburgh managed to scrape together the offense needed in order to get Taillon the win.
Here’s how the scoring went:
The Pirates initiated the scoring in the top of the 2nd inning when Diaz singled home Dickerson after he led the inning off with a double. Diaz’s single proved to be timely as the next three Pirates’ hitters would go down on strikes to end the frame.
