Wandy's Strong Outing Not Enough as D-Backs Slide Past Bucs 2-1

ARIZONA - The Pirates headed into Arizona taking their first series from the Dodgers, something they haven't been able to say in a long time. The early west coast trips have haunted the Pirates for the past several years, but the Pirates look to turn things around with another series win in Arizona.

Starling Marte started the game off right, with a leadoff double. But Marte, got caught in a rundown heading for 3rd, after a Neil Walker single, to end the inning. Wandy Rodriguez, who pitched great his first game of the season, started off allowing a hit and then hitting a batter, but struck out Paul Goldschmidt to end the inning. In the top of the 3rd, the Pirates definitely got some unexpected offense, coming off a solo home run from Josh Harrison, giving the Pirates a 1-0 lead. Ian Kennedy and Wandy Rodriguez continued to duel it out into the 6th, when the Pirates had both Starling Marte and Neil Walker on base with only 1 out. But Kennedy got Andrew McCutchen to strike out swinging and Gaby Sanchez to fly out to end the inning. Ian Kennedy was pulled after six innings of work, after a single by Garrett Jones, but the Pirates were unable to take advantage of the opportunity. With Wandy nearing 90 pitches heading into the 7th, Clint Hurdle chose not to make the move to the bullpen and kept him in the game. The D-Backs took advantage. Parra singled to center, followed by a double to deep left by Martin Prado to score Parra and tie the game at 1. Willie Bloomquist came in and singled, sending Prado to 3rd. Montero hit a sac fly into double play scoring Prado to give the D-Backs a 2-1 lead heading into the 9th. The D-Backs turned to J.J. Putz to close, who got Sanchez, Jones, and Alvarez all to fly out, dropping the Pirates to 3-4 on the season.
