AFTER watching their three-run lead evaporate in the top of the ninth inning, the Pittsburgh Pirates salvaged a walk-off win in the 11th as Tommy Pham delivered a run-scoring single to give the hosts a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday (Monday in Manila).
In the top of the ninth and trailing 4-1, New York plated three two-out runs, including one on an Oswald Peraza double and two on a Trent Grisham single. In the 11th inning, however, automatic runner Jack Suwinski stole third with one out to set up Pham’s game-winner.
Bryan Reynolds doubled and drove in two runs for Pittsburgh, while Isiah Kiner-Falefa added a double and an RBI.
Grisham finished with two hits for the Yankees but missed a chance to put New York on top with runners on second and third with two outs in the top of the 11th, flying out to left field instead. Jazz Chisolm Jr. had a double and drove in a run for the Yanks.
