Making his MLB debut, Payton Stumbo shut the Pittsburgh Pirates down through five innings, but the boys in black and gold rallied to defeat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 at Fenway Park on Friday night.
With two on and two outs in the fourth, Ceddanne Rafaela hit a dribbler that got past Paul Skenes (9-9). Third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa fielder the ball and tried to make a play but delivered an errant throw to first base, allowing Masataka Yoshida to score from second.
The Red Sox (75-61) added another in the fifth inning on Roman Anthony’s solo home run to right field.
Back-to-back singles with one out in the sixth finally knocked Tolle out of the game, which is when the Pirates (60-76) started their comeback. Facing reliever Greg Weissert, Tommy Pham doubled home a pair to tie the game. Andrew McCutchen followed with an RBI double, his second two-bagger of the game.
