It took until the fifth inning on Sunday for the Pirates to claim their first lead of the series against the Rangers, but once they got it, they kept their foot on the gas.

Five different Pirates’ players had multi-hit games while three drove in multiple runs in an 8-3 win to avoid the series sweep at PNC Park.

The Rangers (38-40) jumped ahead 2-0 in the second inning before the Pirates (31-48) responded with seven unanswered runs.

Ke’Bryan Hayes got the Pirates on the board with an RBI single to right, and Tommy Pham tied the game 2-all with a sacrifice fly.
