Entering the top of the sixth inning, things were looking bleak for the San Francisco Giants, but that all changed in that sixth frame.

Both Aubrey Huff and Juan Uribe hit two-run home runs in the top of the sixth inning, as the Giants came back to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-4 at PNC Park.

Eli Whiteside hit a solo home run, as the Giants won a game that started three hours after it originally supposed to begin, as rain hit the Pittsburgh area.

Jonathan Sanchez won his fourth game of the season, as he gave up four unearned runs that came after Buster Posey’s two-base error.

After trailing the Pirates 4-0, the Giants scored two runs in the fifth inning, as Posey hit a double and later scored on a double play and then Whiteside hit a solo home run.

The Pirates scored all four of their runs in the bottom of the second inning, and after the second inning, they came up with one hit off the bat of Adam LaRoche.

Guillermo Mota pitched a perfect eighth inning, before handing the ball over to closer Brian Wilson, who picked up his 14th save in 15 opportunities and it was the 100th save of Wilson’s career.
