Taillon struggles in loss to Giants

The Pirates' loss snapped their seven-game winning streak at AT&T Park. The Giants laced starter Jameson Taillon for 10 runs (nine earned) in three-plus innings. Taillon's start was his shortest this season.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Not too fast: The Pirates opted to intentionally walk Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford -- loading the bases -- in the third before San Francisco cashed in. The walk did its job when Hunter Pence popped out, but Panik made the Pirates pay, roping a two-out triple to right-center, scoring Nunez, Posey and Crawford for a six-run cushion.
