The Impossible Dream. The Impossible Team. Anything becomes possible.

Anything. Even a solid, inspiring start from the orphan of the rotation. Kevin Correia, making his first start since being sent to the bullpen two weeks ago, hurled six-hit ball for six innings on Wednesday and Neil Walker tied his career high with five RBIs in the Pirates' 7-6 win over the D-backs.

Walker gave the Bucs the lead twice, with a three-run homer in the first -- the first of three by the Pirates, as Starling Marte and Jordy Mercer later added solo shots, with Mercer hitting his first -- and with a bases-loaded double in the fifth to undo a 4-4 tie.

Correia (9-6) won his seventh straight decision, a streak that covers eight starts and 50 days. Weathering a couple of significant jams, the righty allowed four runs, three of them earned, and walked three while striking out five.
