It was quite the quick hook for Burrows. He had just given up a homer, but it was a solo shot with one out, and he was only at 67 pitches with the No. 9 hitter coming up. It probably did factor in that Burrows pitched in relief Wednesday, putting him on three days’ rest today. Still, it was just 31 pitches, and it was his only action in the last nine days. The early exit means Burrows remained stuck at one win through seven big-league starts. He should face the Mariners next.

Both homers were two-run shots. The struggling Cruz hadn’t homered since June 10 or had a multihit game since June 4 or had a multi-RBI game since May 28. It’s his second career two-homer game; he also had one on May 23 just before his slump started.

It would have been a save if Mike Burrows had gotten two more outs, but Burrows was ineligible for the win after being pulled with a 6-1 lead in the fifth. Mlodzinski has a 3.09 ERA in 11 2/3 innings of relief work since being recalled earlier this month.

Davis didn’t drive in any runs, as Jared Triolo, hitting one spot ahead of Davis, had zero of the Pirates’ 16 hits today. It’s the first career four-hit game for Davis, and he raised his average from .178 to .207 today. He’s started five of the Pirates’ 12 games at catcher since Joey Bart came off the injured list, and it’d probably take a few more games like this for the Pirates to consider using him anywhere else.
