PHOENIX -- The Pirates entered the bottom of the fourth inning here Sunday holding a 4-2 lead, and exited it on the wrong end of a couple of records. Before Jack Taschner turned the inning's 16th Arizona batter into its third out , the D-backs had scored 13 runs for a 15-4 lead. It was the highest-scoring inning in the history of the D-backs, breaking the prior mark of eight that had been accomplished eight previous times. Noteworthy -- but the D-backs have been in existence only since 1998. As one of the National League's charter franchises,the Pirates have been around a little longer -- and the unlucky 13 matched the most runs ever scored against them in one inning. In 1890, when they were known as the Pittsburgh Alleghenys, they gave up 13 to the Chicago Cubs in the fifth inning on Aug. 16. The Bucs first matched that dubious mark on May 31, 1994, when the Padres put up the 13 in the second inning. Arizona's prolific inning began against Pittsburgh starter Daniel McCutchen, who allowed the first seven of the runs, and continued against relievers Hayden Penn and Taschner. It included three-run home runs by Chris Young and Chris Snyder before pitcher Edwin Jackson ended the surge with two outs with his first career homer. --
