A.J. Burnett became the first Pittsburgh pitcher since 1990 to win six straight starts and Pedro Alvarez homered twice as the Pirates beat the Cleveland Indians 9-2 Saturday.
The Indians can't score for Justin Masterson, who gets less run support than any other starter in the AL. He's found a way to deal with it. Masterson pitched seven effective innings, working out of jams three times, and Cleveland snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

The Pirates were looking on Sunday to salvage something from their weekend trip to Cleveland. After dropping a pair of 5-1 losses the last two nights, Jeff Karstens got the start for the Bucs hoping to avoid the three-game sweep.
For all the winning the Pirates have done this month, over the last two nights in Cleveland they have looked a lot like the team that lost 105 games last year. The Indians' Carlos Carrasco took a no-hitter into the sixth inning as the Pirates lost 5-1 Saturday evening at Progressive Field.
Carlos Santana homered and the Cleveland Indians opened a six-game interleague homestand with a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.
