Pittsburgh Pirates Ace Gerrit Cole was riding along and through seven with goose eggs all over the board and Royals starter Matt Garza leaving early the Buccos liked their chances. Well 'Burgh Hardball could net get anything off a stellar performance by the Royals Pen holding down the fort as well as Cole went into the 8th unscathed with K.C. looking to finally reach him and the Bucs!
Cole got into trouble in the 8th on an Error by Pirates second baseman Neil Walker. With one out and Infante on first Alex Rios singled and advanced to 2nd on Andrew McCutchen's throw. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out Jerome Dyson singles home both Infante and Rios making the score 2-0 Royals. K.C. would add one more after Cole left leading 3-0 after eight.
The Pirates would score in the 9th on a Travis Ishikawa single only after Starling Marte was thrown out at the dish on Jung Ho Kang's two-bagger by Alcides Escobar who has been throwing some serious leather of late!
The Royals go onto win 3-1 tying the series up 1-1 and moving to 56-36. The Pirates falling to 54-39 have the Cubbies right on their tail with the Redbirds leading the NL Central!
