Bailey Falter had another strong outing for the Pittsburgh Pirates and David Bednar closed out the 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night.
Falter (1-0) worked five strong innings against the Phillies (7-7) , holding his former team to just one run on four hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out three.
Pirates’ starters have gone 22.1 consecutive innings without issuing a free pass, the second time they’ve had a streak that long since 2000. The other was a 30.1 inning stretch in 2001.
