Pirates Use Six Relievers to Two-Hit the Giants in a 5-2 Victory

On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-2 in their series finale, with six relievers combining on a two-hitter.
San Francisco starter Blade Tidwell struggled with control in his second career start, requiring 40 pitches to complete the first inning while issuing five walks.
Rookie right-hander Khristian Curtis earned his first major league win by working three-plus innings, as the Pirates won their fifth series in their last six to remain on the fringe of the National League wild card race.
Giants outfielder prospect Bo Davidson was named the PCL Player of the Month for August; Giants President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey said, "Just keep making progress, and then we'll have to make a decision."
The Pirates host the Los Angeles Angels this weekend, while the Giants travel to New York for a three-game series against the Mets starting Friday; rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin is expected to return from injury on Friday.
