    Pittsburgh's starter lasted one inning. The closer wasn't available. The road trip, a disaster to that point.

    With a little grit, good pitching from the bullpen and clutch hitting, the Pirates pulled out a victory that could be a big confidence booster before they head back home.

    "Just duct tape, chicken wire and scrapped for eight innings and get it done," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said after the Pirates' 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday night.
