Toronto, OHSports

The Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to a 5-4 victory against the San Francisco Giants in a thrilling ninth inning on Monday night. Isiah Kiner-Falefa's fielder's choice scored Jack Suwinski, who had advanced to third following Joey Bart's single that tied the game. Suwinski had earlier hit a two-run homer in the seventh, narrowing the Giants' lead from 4-1. Dauri Moreta earned the win by pitching a scoreless inning, showcasing his return after injury. Justin Verlander, who allowed one run in five innings, was unable to secure his 264th career win as the Pirates surged back.

This game marked Kiner-Falefa's fifth career walk-off RBI, highlighting his clutch performance. Heliot Ramos excelled for the Giants, recording three hits and extending his on-base streak to 18 games. The Pirates’ next challenge comes against Giants' pitcher Logan Webb, as they look to build on this momentum.
