The Pittsburgh Pirates (32-27) made it six wins in a row Monday night against the Oakland Athletics (12-50) after a crazy and wild game.

The Pirates drew ten walks against the Athletics, with two of those walks resulting in RBIs for the Pirates.

Rob Zastryzny blew the lead in the eighth inning, but Andrew McCutchen’s second RBI of the game came by way of a sac fly in the bottom of the eighth.

Colin Holderman allowed three hits, Austin Hedges threw out MLB’s league leader in steals, and somehow, the Pirates pulled out a 5-4 victory, giving Holderman his first career save.

The first pitch at PNC Park is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
