Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a two-run homer with two out in the eighth inning, helping rally the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Luis Ortiz allowed just one run on three hits in five innings of relief to get the victory.
Carlos Hernandez , one of five Kansas City pitchers, gave up the home run to Hayes and took the loss. Kansas City squandered a solid effort by starter Cole Ragans, who allowed three hits, struck out nine and walked one in carrying a shutout through seven innings. With the nine strikeouts, he finished the month of August with 53 Ks, the second-most in Royals history behind Dennis Leonard’s 55 in June 1977. He has a 1.73 ERA in seven starts with the Royals since being acquired in mid-July from Texas for Aroldis Chapman.“Ragans was out of the game, quite honestly,” he said.
