Pirates brass file complaint over 19-inning loss |

The Braves won 3-2. Upon further review, he’s out. Major League Baseball acknowledged Wednesday umpire Jerry Meals made the wrong call in Atlanta’s 4-3, 19th-inning win over Pittsburgh. Meals ruled Pittsburgh catcher Mike McKenry failed to tag Atlanta’s Julio Lugo in the bottom of the 19th, allowing Lugo to score the winning run. Replays showed McKenry clearly tagging Lugo well before Lugo got to the plate. The Pirates filed a formal complaint hours after the longest game in team history, and MLB executive vice president for baseball operations Joe Torre said it appeared Meals got the call wrong. Torre said the tag was applied and the game should have remained tied. Torre said he spoke to Meals and “no one feels worse than him.” That’s all the news for today.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen led off the 12th with a home run and the Pittsburgh Pirates reached .500 with a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. McCutchen took a 3-2 pitch from Zach Kroenke (0-1) high and just inside the left-field foul pole for his team-leading 10th home run — the second time he has ended a game with a home run. The Pirates (30-30) evened their record this late in the season for the first time since being 30-30 on June 11, 2005. Pittsburgh has won four of five and six of eight. Arizona has lost three consecutive since going on a 18-4 run. Daniel McCutchen (2-1) worked out of jams in both the 11th and 12th to earn the win in a game in which each team blew a save in the late innings
