Zac Gallen hung tough after a rocky start, and Joc Pederson hit a long home run as the offense and bullpen picked up their Ace starter.
As Paul Sewald let out a primal scream after recording the final out, he put an exclamation point on a game the D-backs seemed unlikely to win. Down 3-0 early, the Diamondbacks came back to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3.
A leadoff single in the second to number eight hitter Joey Bart, and a double by McCutchen plated the third Pirates run. Gallen was frustrated by the walk to McCutchen and the the hit batter, but insisted he was feeling good despite the rocky start and felt if he could could the team in the game they'd have a chance to come back.
"I'd get runners on base and look into the dugout and see what's going on. He's like you're out there, you're on the mound and you've got to compete, you've got to get yourself out of it. That's something I've brought with me, and I'm pretty competitive, so I try to do my job and not let the guys down."
Luckily for the D-backs, Gurriel came in to score shortly after on a wild pitch. That third run of the inning gave the D-backs a 4-3 lead.
