Pagan Hits Grand Slam As Cueto, Giants Clobber Pirates 15-4
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Angel Pagan hit a grand slam during a seven-run fourth inning, Johnny Cueto shut down Pittsburgh into the seventh and the San Francisco Giants clobbered the Pirates 15-4 on Tuesday night.
Conor Gillaspie also homered during the fourth among his four hits and Gregor Blanco scored three times for San Francisco, which won a night after having an eight-game winning streak snapped in Pittsburgh.
Cueto (11-1) moved into a tie for the National League lead in wins by extending his career-best winning streak to eight and improving to 19-4 against the Pirates. Cueto allowed one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Indianapolis, Wilfredo Boscan (1-1) allowed one baserunner over the first three innings of his first major league start, but did not retire any of the seven batters he faced in the fourth.
