PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jason Bay’s two-run double finished off Pittsburgh’s five-run fourth inning and the Pirates shook off Mark Reynolds’ two home runs to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first time in their weekend series 6-4 on Sunday.
Phil Dumatrait (3-3) was pulled after 5 2-3 innings, but still made his third consecutive effective start.
The Diamondbacks won the first two games of the four-game series behind staff aces Brandon Webb and Dan Haren, but Doug Davis (2-3)wasn’t nearly as effective in his fourth start since having surgery to remove his cancerous thyroid gland.
