Suwinski hits 2-run HR in bottom of 9th, Pirates beat Diamondacks

Rookie Jack Suwinski hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1.

Bryan Reynolds led off the ninth with a single against Mark Melancon, who blew his second save in 13 opportunities. Suwinski then lofted a flyball into the right-field stands for his first career game-ending hit and sixth home run of the season.

The homer spoiled an outstanding effort by Arizona starter Zach Davis, who pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings.
