Michael A. Taylor’s three-run home run off of Josh Hader in the top of the ninth lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-3 win over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on Monday night.

With the score tied 2-all in the top of the ninth, the Pirates (54-52) had two on and two out with Taylor at the plate. Taylor connected on a 421-foot home run on a 1-1 sinker left over the plate from Hader (4-6) to put the Pirates ahead by three.

Taylor was not in the original starting lineup but entered the game in the fifth inning after Joshua Palacios exited with an injury.
