Pirates 6, Rays 5: Andrew McCutchen knocked in a pair of runs and Russell Martin homered among his two hits as visiting Pittsburgh held off a late rally by Tampa Bay for its fifth win in six games.

Starling Marte had an RBI single for the Pirates but left in the fifth inning due to concussion-like symptoms after sliding head first into second baseman Sean Rodriguez’s knee on a steal attempt. Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke (1-1) allowed three runs on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings for the victory.

Brandon Guyer singled home two runs for the Rays with two outs in the ninth before Mark Melancon retired Evan Longoria on a fly ball to notch his 13th save. Jose Molina collected two hits and an RBI, Longoria belted a two-run homer in the eighth and Logan Forsythe had three hits for Tampa Bay.

Gregory Polanco walked, stole second and moved to third on an error before jogging home on McCutchen’s groundout in the first inning. Marte and McCutchen each delivered RBI singles and Neil Walker added a sacrifice fly in the third off Rays’ starter Chris Archer (4-5), who yielded five runs (four earned) over seven innings.

Forsythe was awarded a triple with two outs in the fifth when right fielder Polanco lost a fly ball in the roof and scored on Molina’s double. Josh Harrison got the run back in the sixth with an RBI single after Ike Davis’ two-out double to make it 5-1 and Martin belted a solo homer just inside the left-field foul pole in the eighth.
