The Associated Press

BRADENTON, Fla. — Gregory Polanco went 3 for 3, drove in two runs and swiped two bases, leading Pittsburgh to a 6-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in a split-squad game for both clubs on Saturday.

Pirates star Andrew McCutchen, who was reportedly shopped all winter long by a few media outlets, went 1 for 2 with a double and scored a run. Daniel Hudson, trying to make the club in the bullpen, gave up a run and two hits in one inning.

For the Orioles, Adam Jones went 1 for 3 and scored a run, and Jonathan Schoop also had a hit.

In a game played at Port Charlotte, Jacob Stallings hit a solo homer in Pittsburgh’s six-run fifth inning, and Joey Terdoslavich had three hits and two RBIs as the Pirates took care of Tampa Bay, 7-2.

Terdoslavich and Phil Gosselin each had a two-run double in the fifth.

For Tampa Bay, Corey Dickerson went 2 for 4 with a solo home run and starter David Carpenter pitched one perfect inning with a strikeout.
