Yesterday’s series finale resulted in a 9-7 win for the Pirates after erasing a five-run deficit. The Marlins came out strong and score five runs in the bottom of the first, but Pittsburgh rallied with a triple from Alika Williams and a Rowdy Tellez three-run homer to take the lead. David Bednar earned his first win of the year on the mound after pitching one inning and striking out two batters.
