PITTSBURGH — Since fully embracing the youth movement earlier this week, the Pirates have certainly experienced their fair share of growing pains in a small sample size.
On Wednesday, manager Derek Shelton got contributions from veterans and rookies alike in a game-saving seventh inning rally as the Pirates stormed back to beat the Guardians 7-5 Wednesday afternoon at PNC Park.
Before the bottom of the seventh, the Pirates appeared to be on the verge of dropping their sixth straight coming out of the All-Star break. A loss would’ve marked the first time this year they’d fallen in every game in a multi-series stretch at home this year.
