Giants Win 7-6 in 12th on Rodríguez RBI Single
Jesús Rodríguez delivered a bases-loaded RBI single in the bottom of the 12th inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 7-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday at Oracle Park.
The Giants, who improved to their third win in the last 12 games, overcame three two-run deficits in a marathon contest. Pittsburgh took an early 1-0 lead in the first on Nick Gonzales' RBI single and went ahead 2-0 in the second when rookie Konnor Griffin hit a solo home run, his third of the season. San Francisco tied it at 2-2 with an RBI single by Luis Arraez in the third and Heliot Ramos' solo homer, his fourth, in the fourth.
Oneil Cruz put the Pirates back on top 3-2 with his 10th home run of the year in the fifth. Spencer Horwitz added an RBI double in the sixth for a 4-2 advantage. The Giants rallied immediately against reliever Isaac Mattson, using consecutive doubles from Rafael Devers, Ramos and Matt Chapman to knot the score at 4-4.
The teams exchanged two-run innings in the 10th. Horwitz delivered a two-RBI double for Pittsburgh's third lead of the game, but Willy Adames answered with a two-out, two-run single off Yohan Ramirez to tie it at 6-6.
