Freese, Cervelli power Pirates by Braves 5-4 in home opener (Yahoo Sports)

David Freese and Francisco Cervelli hit back-to-back home runs and the Pittsburgh Pirates won their home opener in snow flurries, beating the Atlanta Braves 5-4 Friday. Freese and Cervelli went deep off reliever Josh Collmenter leading off the fifth inning. Nova (1-0) permitted just an unearned run over six innings in his first start since signing a three-year deal in the offseason to stay with the Pirates, who acquired him from the New York Yankees last summer.
