Pirates Mount Historic Comeback Against Diamondbacks

The Pittsburgh Pirates staged a historic comeback against the Arizona Diamondbacks, overcoming a six-run deficit to win 9-6, marking their largest comeback since 2023 and a feat not accomplished by an MLB team averaging three or fewer runs per game in 57 years. Bryan Reynolds sparked the rally with a three-run homer in the eighth inning, with key contributions from Henry Davis and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The victory followed a series-opening shutout loss to Arizona, in which Ryne Nelson dominated and Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor homered for the Diamondbacks' 5-0 win. Joey Bart, the Pirates' catcher, exited the comeback game due to apparent concussion symptoms, prompting Henry Davis to take over behind the plate. Despite the dramatic win, the Pirates continue to struggle offensively and remain near the bottom of the standings, while Arizona hovers around .500. The Diamondbacks had snapped a five-game losing streak in the opener but faltered in the second game.
