PITTSBURGH -- Chris Iannetta's two-run, pinch-hit home run against Tony Watson tied the game for Arizona in the top of the ninth inning, but Andrew McCutchen responded with a solo homer in the bottom of the frame to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday at PNC Park.

Leading off, McCutchen hit a 1-1 pitch from reliever Archie Bradley (1-1) into the right field seats.

The Pirates had taken a 3-1 lead in the seventh on Chris Stewart's two-run double before Iannetta's homer.

Pirates right fielder Gregory Polanco was injured in the sixth inning after he chased a foul ball that ended up in the seats. Polanco slammed into the low fence and crumpled to the turf. He was carted off, holding his ankle. The Pirates described the injury as right ankle discomfort.

Stewart also departed after sliding into third base on his triple, apparently sustaining a leg injury, but it did not appear to be serious.

In his best start of the season, Pirates right-hander Trevor Williams, whose ERA was 5.93 coming in, pitched six innings. He gave up only one run, on Yasmany Thomas' RBI single in the first inning. Williams yielded four hits, struck out three and walked none.

Randall Delgado, in his second start of the season for Arizona after spending most of the season in the bullpen, gave up one run on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out eight and walked none.

Delgado gave up singles to Jordy Mercer and Alen Hanson his first time through the batting order but faced the minimum nine hitters after catcher Jeff Mathis threw both out at second trying to steal.

Mercer tripled with one out in the fourth and scored on Josh Bell's sacrifice fly to make it 1-1.

Watson (4-1) got the win despite giving up two runs in his lone inning.
