PITTSBURGH — Carlos Santana hit a towering, three-run homer in the top of the 10th inning and drove in five runs to lift the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. 

With one out and the score tied at 3, Santana’s high drive sailed over the foul pole and landed at the top of the left-field rotunda at PNC Park. 

Cleveland won its fourth straight game and for the ninth time in 12 games. 

At 4-15, Pittsburgh has the worst record in the major leagues. 

The teams will continue their series tonight at 7:05 p.m.
