PITTSBURGH — Joc Pederson's three-run home run in the seventh inning rallied the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 6-5 win as Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes got a no-decision after taking a shutout into the sixth inning. Pederson hit a two-out drive to left-center field off Colin Holderman to turn a 4-2 deficit into a one-run lead. Pederson's 17th homer of the season came after Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll walked. Skenes allowed two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings against the highest-scoring team in the NL while striking out four and walking three.
