Two hits from McCutchen, Kang, Marte and Cervelli, two RBIs from Pedro Alvarez, and home runs from McCutchen, Alvarez, and Cervelli. Francisco Liriano had a ridiculous start in which he racked up 11 strikeouts in six innings (and also 103 pitches in that span). This is, at risk of being reductive, how you win when Brent Morel is your starting third baseman. After a 1-5 start to the second half, maybe it’s more of a reminder of what this team is capable of.
