Pirates win 7-7

The Pirates almost pulled out the victory, but settled for a 7-7 tie that had to feel almost like a win.

Trailing 7-4 with two on and two out in the top of the ninth, Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer to center field that struck halfway up the batter's eye, which stands 414 feet from home plate.

Garrett Jones then drove a ball that landed on the blue awning that hangs from the second story of the Rays offices which sit behind the boardwalk in right field.

The game went 11 innings before being called because both teams ran out of pitchers.
