Valdez, Triolo and Rodriguez homer for Pirates in 11-7 win over Phillies‎

Esmerlyn Valdez and Jared Triolo both hit home runs to help the Pittsburgh Pirates escape an early five-run deficit, and Endy Rodriguez closed the deal with a three-run homer in the ninth for an 11-7 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. The Pirates posted a six-run fifth inning against struggling starter Aaron Nola (3-5). The Phillies fought back with two runs in the eighth to cut the lead to one run, but Rodriquez homered on a two-out pitch off reliever Chase Shugart in the ninth.
