Polanco caps Bucs' 'crazy' series with winner

A night after battling back in the 10th and again to win in the 14th on Andrew McCutchen's walk-off homer, the Pirates were down by two in the 10th inning with All-Star closer Trevor Rosenthal on the mound.

"So what? Now what?"

With two outs, four straight hitters got on base to set up Gregory Polanco's walk-off single to right field, finishing off a wild four-game series with the Cardinals and setting off another raucous celebration on the field and in the stands at PNC Park.
