Gregory Polanco and Kevin Newman drove in three runs apiece Saturday night as the Pittsburgh Pirates roughed up San Francisco Giants ace Kevin Gausman en route to a 10-2 victory over the National League West leaders.
Newman collected four hits while Ben Gamel contributed a double and two singles to a season-best 16-hit attack that propelled the Pirates to a second straight win in the three-game series.
Gausman (9-4), who began the day with the NL's best ERA, couldn't finish the fifth, charged with six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked four and struck out two.
