Nick Gonzales hit a walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning after
Pittsburgh tied the score with four runs in the ninth, lifting the
Pirates to a 7-6 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants on
Tuesday.
Gonzales singled up the middle on the first pitch of the inning from
Erik Miller (0-2), scoring automatic runner Michael A. Taylor from
second base.
Thairo Estrada and Matt Chapman hit home runs for San Francisco,
which saw a four-game winning streak come to an end. The Giants led
6-2 before Pittsburgh forced extras with its late four-run rally.
With one out and the bases loaded in the ninth, the Pirates' Ji Hwan
Bae singled in a run against Camilo Doval. Andrew McCutchen followed
with a ground ball that was mishandled by shortstop Marco Luciano,
allowing Yasmani Grandal to score from third base.
The Pirates pulled within 6-5 when Jared Triolo scored on Bryan
Reynolds' groundout, and then they tied the score on Oneil Cruz's
RBI double to right field. David Bednar (3-3) pitched a scoreless
10th inning for Pittsburgh.
Astros 6, Angels 5 (10 innings)
Kyle Tucker posted his second multi-homer game in three days and
scored the winning run when Jeremy Pena delivered a walk-off single
in the 10th inning as Houston topped visiting Los Angeles.
Pena plated Tucker with a single to right field off Angels closer
Carlos Estevez (0-3). Josh Hader (3-3) earned the win in relief for
Houston, striking out four over two perfect innings.
Angels starter Griffin Canning worked five solid innings, allowing
two runs on five hits and three walks to go along with two
strikeouts. Astros starter Cristian Javier labored over four innings
and 71 pitches, getting tagged for four runs and eight hits. He
walked three and fanned one.

triple in the eighth inning, leading visiting Milwaukee to a win
over the Marlins.

walked and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth. Brewers rookie
reliever Tobias Myers (1-2) pitched one scoreless inning to earn his
first major league win.

after pitching only three innings last week, regained his form. The
veteran righty went five innings on Tuesday and allowed two runs
