    Jonny Venters thought he had given up a tying home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

    Gregory Polanco's drive to right field hit off the top of the 21-foot wall, however, and he was held to a double.

    Venters then got Francisco Cervelli to hit a game-ending comebacker, preserving Atlanta's 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.
