Pirates minor league affiliate's game interrupted by a turtle on the field
BRADENTON, Fla. (KDKA) - A few weeks ago, a Pirates minor league affiliate's game was interrupted not for weather or injury, but nature.

As the game came to a screeching halt, the turtle continued its trek across the outfield until pitcher Magdiel Cotto came out of the bullpen to carry it to safety and the game could continue.
