50-50 chance to be fit for the July 13 dead rubber at ANZ Stadium.After be

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Josh Reddick has never hit a hole-in-one while golfing, so hes counting this one.He had an RBI single in the third for Oakland in a 4-2, 10-inning loss Saturday night for one of his career-high matching four hits. But his double in the fifth that got stuck in the outfield wall and wasnt ruled a ground-rule double but rather a dead ball, preventing a run from scoring.It was very frustrating. Could have won the game, Reddick said. Over the years Ive obviously seen (the hole) but never really paid attention to it. After it happened I went out there and it was literally a three-inch gap to put a baseball in. Never hit a hole-in-one before even in golf so I guess this is going to have to count.David Freese hit a go-ahead single in the top of the 10th inning and Gregory Polanco added an insurance RBI single.Erik Kratz led off the inning with a single against Daniel Coulombe (1-1), Jordy Mercer sacrificed him over and Freese singled to left. As left fielder Coco Crisp threw out Freese at home on Adam Fraziers single moments later, and the play was upheld on an umpire review.Juan Nicasio (6-6) struck out two in the ninth for the victory, then Mark Melancon allowed a pair of singles before finishing for his 23rd save as the Pirates won for the sixth time in eight games after dropping eight of nine.Pittsburgh also has won the last three meetings against the As after losing the initial 11.The As wished they hadnt had the bad luck on Reddicks double.Ive never seen that happen here before, manager Bob Melvin said. I dont know what to say. Its very unfortunate because its definitely a run.As reliever Ryan Madson had runners on second and third in the ninth following a double steal but retired Sean Rodriguez on a popup and induced Josh Harrisons groundout. The Pirates challenged whether Danny Valencias throw from third to first was in time, but the call was confirmed in 1 minute, 55 seconds.Harrison hit an RBI double and Starling Marte a run-scoring single in the fourth as Pittsburgh tied the game at 2.The fourth inning I didnt make pitches, I didnt execute. That falls completely on my shoulders, As starter Rich Hill said. I just have to make better pitches in that inning. Other than that I felt good.Mercer led off the game with a double on a ball that got lost in the sun and dropped in shallow right field between three As players.Hill came off the disabled list to strike out six while pitching four-hit ball over six innings in his first outing since May 29 after being sidelined with a strained left groin. He had a five-start winning streak since losing May 1 to Houston.Hill allowed two runs on four hits and walked two, limited to 83 pitches based on how much time he missed.Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl gave up seven hits and two runs, struck out two and didnt walk a batter in six innings. It was his second major league start after beating Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers in his debut -- and he got the nerves and any awe factor out then.Crisp hit his 300th career double in the third and extended his hitting streak to nine games.The As ended a stretch of hitting a home run in a season-best 10 straight games, playing their first extra-inning game at home after 60 without one since Aug. 18 last year against the Dodgers.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Gerrit Cole (triceps strain) shadow threw in the bullpen a day after a simulated game. ...
