Giants Take Series Over Pirates Amid Injuries

The San Francisco Giants won their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, taking two out of three games after a 4-2 victory in the finale highlighted by Dominic Smith's pinch-hit go-ahead double and Patrick Bailey's insurance RBI single in the ninth inning. The Giants rallied from a late deficit with strong pitching from Robbie Ray and Ryan Walker, while Randy Rodriguez recorded his third save as closer. The win was tempered by Jerar Encarnacion suffering a lower leg injury after hitting his second home run in as many games. Earlier, Logan Webb led the Giants to an 8-1 win with 10 strikeouts, achieving a rare milestone in franchise history. The Pirates' only win came in the opener on Isiah Kiner-Falefa's walk-off fielder’s choice in the ninth. The series demonstrated the Giants' resilience amid ongoing injury challenges.
