Pirates' late surge and Gonzales walk-off stun the Giants

Nick Gonzales delivered a walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning, capping a thrilling comeback as the Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a four-run deficit in the ninth to secure a 7-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.

Gonzales singled up the middle on the first pitch from Erik Miller (0-2), driving in automatic runner Michael A. Taylor from second base to seal the win.

Thairo Estrada and Matt Chapman hit home runs for San Francisco, ending the Giants’ four-game winning streak. The Giants had a 6-2 lead before Pittsburgh’s dramatic four-run rally in the ninth forced extra innings.

With one out and the bases loaded in the ninth, Ji Hwan Bae’s single off Camilo Doval scored a run. Andrew McCutchen followed with a grounder that shortstop Marco Luciano mishandled, allowing Yasmani Grandal to score. Jared Triolo scored on Bryan Reynolds’ groundout to make it 6-5, and Oneil Cruz’s RBI double tied the game. David Bednar (3-3) pitched a scoreless 10th for Pittsburgh.
