Henry Davis’ fielder’s-choice grounder brought home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh has won five in a row. San Francisco went 0-6 on its homestand, the first time since 1896 the Giants franchise has gone winless on a homestand of six or more games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Giants also dropped below .500 (54-55) for the first time this season.
Pirates pitchers retired 25 straight hitters from the last out of the fourth inning Tuesday night through the first three innings Wednesday. Ramos’ single ended the streak.
Pittsburgh’s Andrew Heaney (5-9, 4.79 ERA) faces host Colorado’s Antonio Senzatela (4-4, 6.68) on Friday.
