WHERE: Nationals Park,

Pinch-hitter Colin Moran hit a three-run homer in the top of
the 10th off Justin Miller on an 0-2 pitch as the Pittsburgh Pirates came back
for a 6-3 win in a back-and-forth contest Friday with the Washington Nationals.
Miller has now allowed four homers this year in seven
outings and the Nationals bullpen entered the game with an ERA of 10.71. Moran
was pinch-hitting for Jung Ho Kang, after Melky Cabrera and Adam Frazier got on
base against Matt Grace (0-1).
The winner was Nick Burdi (1-1), who allowed a double by
Howie Kendrick in the ninth but didn't allow a run. Former Nats pitcher Felipe
Vazquez pitched the last of the 10th for the Pirates to earn his fourth save of
the season.
Anthony Rendon hit two solo homers, including a game-tying
shot in the eighth, for Washington.
Starling Marte had a two-run single to left off Kyle
Barraclough for the go-ahead runs and a 3-2 lead in the eighth for the Pirates.
Nationals starter Pat Corbin allowed just one run in seven
innings with 11 strikeouts and walked just one. It was the 11th time in
Corbin's career that he fanned at least 10 batters. He also had two hits and
one RBI at the plate.
Rendon, who now has six homers, hit a solo shot in the third
to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead. That gave him a hit in 11 games in a row and
an extra-base hit in nine straight contests.
Washington (6-6) tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the
second as Ryan Zimmerman drew a walk and later scored on a single by Corbin.
The Pirates (7-5) took a 1-0 lead in the second as Josh Bell
led off with a solo homer to left off Corbin.
The Nationals have now allowed 20 runs in the eighth inning
this season.
Pirates starter Trevor Williams went 6 1/3 innings and
allowed just two runs on four hits.
A slight rain began when Rendon was at the plate in the last
of the first, just 11 minutes after the first pitch. It was also raining in the
last of the fifth with the Nationals leading 2-1 and by that time, the game was
official.
The Nationals had won 14 of the previous 17 games against
the Pirates in Washington.
EXTRA STREAKY
Rendon has six homers after going deep twice for the fifth
time in his career. He extended his hitting streak to 11 games and has recorded
at least one extra-base hit in the last nine games. In terms of extra-base
hits, it's tied for the longest such streak since the club moved to
Washington. Ryan
Zimmerman had extra-base hits in nine straight games in 2017.
STILL SEARCHING
Patrick
Corbin struck out 11 and allowed one run in seven innings in
his third start since signing a six-year, $140 million contract with Washington
in December. He has yet to earn a decision despite lowering his ERA to 2.84.
TRAINER'S ROOM
PIRATES: OF Gregory
Polanco (left shoulder) and RHP Dovydas
Neverauskas(left oblique strain) will have their rehabilitation
assignments transferred to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday. Neverauskas threw
two scoreless innings at Class A Bradenton, while Polanco was 2 for 13 there
with four walks and an RBI in four games.
NATIONALS:
RHP Max Scherzer (sore
right leg) had his next start pushed back a day, to Sunday, because of
lingering soreness after he was hit with a line drive in last Sunday at the
Mets. ... With Miller's fastball velocity only in the low 90s, Martinez worried
the reliever might be hurt. "I'm going to find out," Martinez said.
"I don't know what's going on. I'm going to talk to him."
UP NEXT
PIRATES: RHP Chris Archer (1-0,
2.45 ERA) makes his first start against Washington since 2015. He has a 2.45
ERA in two career appearances against the Nationals.
NATIONALS:
Right-hander Anibal
Sanchez (0-1, 6.52) swaps places with Scherzer. He'll pitching
on regular rest after allowing 3 runs over 5 2/3 innings on Monday in
Philadelphia.
