DETROIT — The Pittsburgh Pirates were hoping to get to .500 for the season on Wednesday.

Instead, they’ll have to wait.

Tyler Anderson pitched five strong innings to help Pittsburgh beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Wednesday in a doubleheader opener.

Detroit rallied for a 5-2 win in the second game behind Jonathan Schoop’s go-ahead home run in a three-run fifth inning, leaving the Pirates at 8-10 following a 1-6 start.

The teams played the doubleheader of seven-inning games under pandemic rules after Tuesday night’s game was postponed on a snowy day in the Detroit area. There was still a white dusting on top of the bushes beyond the wall in center field Wednesday, plus some flurries late in the game. The temperature at game time was 40 degrees, but Anderson didn’t seem too preoccupied with that.

“The dugouts are fine,” he said. “Not too bad in the dugouts.”

Spencer Turnbull (1-0) allowed one run and two hits in five innings to win the second game, his season debut after recovering from COVID-19. Gregory Soto pitched the seventh for his second save.

“I thought the first inning was a little rough, but I felt really good about the rest of my game,” Turnbull said. “I probably needed that inning to knock off the rust.”

Miguel Yajure (0-1) gave up four runs and hour hits in 4 2/3 innings in his Pirates debut.

“I found out last night that I was going to start today, so I went through my usual routine, but this is the first time I’ve started a game in almost two years,” Yajure said through a translator.

Erik Gonzalez hit an RBI double in the first, but the Pirates didn’t score again off Turnbull.

“He had a pretty high pitch count in the first inning, but he finished strong enough that he would have pitched the sixth if he hadn’t been sitting for 30-45 minutes,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “I liked how he adjusted and got himself back into the game.”

Niko Goodrum’s leadoff homer tied the score in the third.
