Pirates Rally for 5-4 Walk-Off Win Over Giants

The Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to a 5-4 walk-off victory against the San Francisco Giants, highlighted by Isiah Kiner-Falefa's fielder's choice that scored Jack Suwinski in the bottom of the ninth inning. Suwinski had earlier cut the Giants' lead with a two-run homer, and Joey Bart's RBI single tied the game before the walk-off run. Giants closer Randy Rodríguez blew his first save opportunity, allowing two runs in the ninth, while Justin Verlander pitched five innings giving up one unearned run. Pirates starter Johan Oviedo was removed after one inning due to pitch count limits, marking his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery and a lat strain, with early Giants leads built on an RBI single and bases-loaded walk. The Pirates capitalized on defensive miscues, including a key error by Giants' left fielder Heliot Ramos, who had three hits and reached base in 18 consecutive games. Nick Gonzales contributed offensively with a sacrifice fly and earlier strong performances on a recent road trip, helping fuel the Pirates' comeback.
