The Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three game sweep of the San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon with a 5-4 win. The Giants had a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning but the Pirates held on for the win which improved their record to 15-19 on the season.
Starting pitcher Paul Maholm lasted six innings as he gave up six hits and four runs. Franquelis Osoria, John Grabow, Tyler Yates, and Matt Capps all pitched in relief of Maholm and did a great job. The Pirates bullpen only gave up two hits as they pitched three innings.
Ryan Doumit led the Pirates with two rbi in the game. Nate McLouth, Jason Bay, and Adam LaRoche all had one RBI in the game as well. Some nice production up and down the lineup for the Pirates.
The Pirates are now 15-19 on the season after the three game sweep of the Giants.
