Pirates miss out on sweep

PITTSBURGH — Miguel Cabrera and Robbie Grossman each had four hits, and the Detroit Tigers avoided a sweep by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 Wednesday night.

Cabrera was 4 for 4 with a double and three RBIs. He doubled off the Clemente Wall in right field to score Grossman in the first, singled home Akil Baddoo in the third and bounced one up the middle in the fifth to bring in Jonathan Schoop.

Grossman was 4 for 5 and scored three runs. He singled in his first three at-bats and hit a solo home run just inside the right field foul pole in the seventh.

Jeimer Candelario added an RBI single in the fifth.

Drew Hutchison (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings of relief for Detroit, his first in the majors since Aug. 17, 2018.

Pirates starter Mitch Keller (4-11) yielded four runs and 10 hits in five innings.
