Jack Suwinski and Daniel Vogelbach returned on Tuesday to help the Pittsburgh Pirates squeeze the New York Yankees 5-2.
Ben Gamel has added an RBI double to the Pirates who scored 4 RBIs out of 6 RBIs.
Pittsburgh starter José Quintana (2-4) allowed one run and six hits in five innings, seven strikeouts and no walks.
David Bednar threw the ninth in his thirteenth save.
Aaron Judge and Matt Carpenter each hit the Yankees RBI single. The Yankees lost two games in a row.
New York starter Jameson Taillon (9-2) confronted his former team for the first time and threw a 51/3 inning. He gave up 5 strikeouts and 6 hits with 5 strikeouts and 6 hits.
Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was delayed in scratching the lineup due to his stiff waist.
In the second inning, Vogelbach headed for Pittsburgh with his right fielder on his eleventh home run.
Pirates pushed it 4-0 in the fourth place. Bryan Reynolds doubled just before Suwinski's 14 home runs. Later, Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, who returned from the injured list due to tension in his lower back muscles, hit a single in the center. He was erased in the Force Out of Oneil Cruz, but Gamel doubled to the right center to drive Cruz.
Due to the tension in the left hamstring, this was the first match for Gamel to return from IL.
The Yankees got on the scoreboard fifth. Isiah Kiner-Falefa doubled to the left, with one out to third in DJ LeMahieu's ground out and scoring a 4-1 with a base hit to the left of the judge.
This is the end of the 15 innings scoring drought in New York.
Sixth time, Suwinski singled to the right and became Vogelbach's third ground out. It chased Taillon for Lucas Rittge. Tsutsugo is single on the left and Suwinski is third. Cruz's sacrifice fly ran through Suwinski to the left, giving Pirates a 5-1 lead.
The Yankees are 8th closer. Gleyber Torres walked to 2nd place in Duane Underwood's wild pitch, 3rd in Giancarlo Stanton's ground out, and after Josh Donaldson jumped out, scoring to the right from Carpenter's single 5- I set it to 2.
