Gorzelanny, Bay lead Bucs to 5th straight

PITTSBURGH — Tom Gorzelanny shook off Mark Teixeira’s two-run homer in the first inning to shut out Atlanta during the rest of his 7 1/3 innings, Jason Bay homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates extended the Braves’ road woes with a 5-2 victory Saturday night.

Bay doubled and scored on Ronny Paulino’s sacrifice fly in the second inning, then followed Jason Michaels’ leadoff single with a two-run homer to left-center in the fourth off Chuck James (2-2). Paulino added a two-run double in the sixth and drove in three runs during Pittsburgh’s fifth consecutive victory.

The Braves, who came to Pittsburgh after sweeping a six-game homestand against San Diego and Cincinnati, lost their sixth in a row away from home and are a major league-worst 4-13 on the road.
