Pirates hopped on Nelson Briles early en route to a 4-2 win.
Pittsburgh scratches out a run in the first, keyed by Pat Kelly, who draws leadoff walk, steals 2nd and darts to 3rd on Bench throwing error before scoring on a ground out.
Joe Morgan boots a ground ball with two outs in the second inning, leaving the door open for Buccos to strike for two more runs and it's 3-0.
Fergie Jenkins shoved on us, complete game with nine Ks. Roberto Clemente and Graig Nettles tagged him for solo homers.
Loss drops us 4 1/2 back. Darkness is setting upon us.
