SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 Nick Gonzales<\/a> and Joey Bart<\/a> each had four hits, Brandon Lowe<\/a> drove in four runs and the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> had a season-high 20 hits in a 13-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Every Pittsburgh starter recorded a hit. Oneil Cruz<\/a> finished with three hits, while Lowe and Ryan O\u2019Hearn each had two.<\/p>\n

Braxton Ashcraft<\/a> (2-2) went seven innings, allowing six hits and striking out six. Landon Roupp (5-3) struck out eight and gave up one run in four-plus innings before the Pirates pounced on the Giants\u2019 bullpen. <\/p>\n

Ryan Borucki<\/a> replaced Roupp after a leadoff single by Bart in the fifth and but got just two outs before manager Tony Vitello pulled him in favor of Ryan Walker<\/a>, who got San Francisco out of the inning.<\/p>\n

Bryce Eldridge<\/a>, the Giants\u2019 21-year-old designated hitter, quickly answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth, his first in the majors, after getting the call-up from Sacramento earlier this week.<\/p>\n

However, Walker surrendered two runs on back-to-back hits from Konnor Griffin<\/a> and Bart, putting the Pirates ahead 4-1 in the sixth.<\/p>\n

And in the seventh, the Pirates piled it on, getting four runs off JT Brubaker<\/a> and then two more off Gregory Santos<\/a> to take a 10-1 lead, garnering loud boos from Giants fans.<\/p>\n

Giants second baseman Christian Koss<\/a> left in the ninth inning after getting hit by a pitch on the shoulder.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Pirates RHP Bubba Chandler<\/a> (1-4, 4.76 ERA) opposes Giants RHP Tyler Mahle<\/a> (1-4, 5.00 ERA) Sunday afternoon for the final game of the series.<\/p>\n
