Left-handed starting pitcher Bailey Falter had one of his best outings of the season, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-1 victory over the Detr

Spencer Horwitz's grand slam backed up a quality start from Bailey Falter and helped the host Pittsburgh Pirates finish off a three-game sweep of the frontrunning Detroit Tigers with a 6-1 victory on Wednesday afternoon.
