The Pittsburgh Pirates will look to stay in the win column after snapping their 10-game losing streak with a win over the Seattle Mariners.
For the first time in 13 days, the Pittsburgh Pirates got back into the win column with a 5-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night at PNC Park.
Pittsburgh was riding an abysmal 10-game losing streak before Friday. Pirates ace Paul Skenes lived up to the billing, working around four walks to pitch six innings, allow three hits, two runs and he struck out six batters to earn his first win since July 11. After allowing a solo lead-off home run to Jorge Polanco in the ninth inning, Pirates closer David Bednar struck out the side, including Mitch Haniger, who was the potential game-tying run, to end the game.
Offensively, the Pirates got key contributions from Yasmani Grandal, Isaiah Kiner-Falefa, Andrew McCutchen and Oneil Cruz. Kiner-Falefa, Grandal and McCutchen each had one RBI apiece and a two-run double from Cruz extended the Pirates' lead to 5-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning.
