For the second time in as many days the Pittsburgh Pirates (2-1) and the Baltimore Orioles (2-1) did battle in Grapefruit League play. One day after the Bucs beat the Orioles 6-2, the Orioles returned the favor by picking up a 8-3 victory on Sunday.
Jameson Taillon made the start for the Pirates. In his first start of the spring Taillon allowed two runs on three hits, a solo home run, and two walks in two innings of work. He also struck out three Oriole batters.
While the game ended in a tie, that was not the story on Sunday afternoon.
