Rookie Jesús Rodríguez Walk-Off Lifts Giants Over Pirates in 12 Innings

The win clinches the series at Oracle Park for a San Francisco team seeking traction.

Overview

  • Rodríguez blooped a bases-loaded single to right-center to score Heliot Ramos, capping Sunday’s 7-6, 12-inning win that clinched the series.
  • Pittsburgh seized a 6-4 lead in the 10th on Spencer Horwitz’s two-run double before Willy Adames tied it with a two-out, two-run single in the bottom half.
  • Reliever Ryan Borucki escaped a no-out, runners-on-corner jam in the 11th with a strikeout and a lineout that Adames turned into a 6-3 double play, and he earned the win.
  • In the 12th, Matt Chapman’s opposite-field drive dropped for a double after right fielder Ryan O’Hearn failed to secure it, an intentional walk loaded the bases, and Justin Lawrence took the loss when Rodríguez ended it.
  • The Giants head to the Dodgers for four games next, while the Pirates return to PNC Park to host the Rockies after a Monday off day.
