22: Come-from-behind wins this season by the Pirates, the latest courtesy of ninth- and 11th-inning home runs on Saturday night by Andrew McCutchen -- No. 22 in your scorecard.

"If they were going to beat me, they were going to have to beat me with my fastball. I figured if I'm going to get beat, it's going to be hard." -- Justin Wilson, on striking out Ryan Ludwick and Brayan Pena with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th Saturday, allowing the Bucs to win in 11.
