The Pirates won a pitcher's duel Saturday night, 2-1. Starters Gerrit Cole and Matt Garza combined for 14 innings, 12 strikeouts and only two runs allowed. Felipe Rivero and Tony Watson contributed three additional innings of scoreless relief for the Pirates, and Josh Harrison hit a game-winning single in the bottom of the tenth to give the team its second win a row.
"We'll take it and move on," Clint Hurdle said. "We know we have work to do. We have to find ways to get better and more consistent."
Another quality start for Cole
