The Pirates snatched a dramatic 5-4 walk-off victory from the Giants on Monday night, riding a clutch ninth-inning rally to stun San Francisco at PNC Park. Pittsburgh's bullpen, led by Dauri Moreta's perfect 10-pitch ninth, held firm after a shaky start from Johan Oviedo—who lasted just one inning—while Jack Suwinski delivered the decisive blow with a two-run homer in the eighth. The Giants had fought back behind Heliot Ramos' three-hit night and Jung Hoo Lee's two RBIs, but the Pirates' resilience proved decisive, with Spencer Horwitz and Joey Bart each contributing key RBIs to fuel the comeback.

Justin Verlander's 100-pitch effort over five innings kept the Giants in it early, but Pittsburgh's patchwork bullpen ultimately outdueled San Francisco's relievers. The win keeps the Pirates' faint playoff hopes alive, while the Giants—despite Ramos' continued hot streak—missed a chance to gain ground in the wild-card race.
