In the first Freese hit a sacrifice fly to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead.  In the third Polanco hit an RBI double to push the lead to 2-0.  In the seventh Ellsbury hit a solo homerun to cut the lead to 2-1 and that would be the final score.  The Yankees had their chances in the last couple of innings but couldn’t get the job done.  They will now head to Boston to start a three game series on Tuesday night.
