Left fielder Melky Cabrera played the first five innings and went 1 for 2 with a double, third baseman Colin Moran doubled and scored in the first inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates improved to 3-0 with a come-from-behind victory against Boston (2-1) on Monday in Bradenton.

Shortstop Kevin Newman had a sacrifice fly, and first baseman Francisco Cervelli went 1 for 2. Pitcher Jordan Lyles pitched two innings and allowed one run. Lolo Sanchez’s single highlighted a three-run eighth inning.

The Pirates play the Minnesota Twins at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday at Fort Myers. Mitch Keller is expected to start on the mound.
