Top of the 5th

Jonah Bayliss is the third Pirate pitcher of the day, and Andrew McCutchen is the new leftfielder.

Quite a busy day for A-Mac, who went 1-for-4 this morning during the Pirates' "B" game with the Phillies at Pirate City.

How do you make a bullpen full of guys run for cover? Hit it their way. Shane Victorino lofts a towering fly ball to right field, and the Pirate relievers, most of whom are sitting in fair territory, duck and run for cover. Pirate rightfielder Steven Pearce tries to run it down, but the ball glances off his glove and Victorino legs out a triple.

He scored on a wild pitch, tying the game at 2.
