Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Nick Yorke delivered an RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning to score Bryan Reynolds and secure a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at PNC Park on Saturday afternoon. The win came without a home run, long start from the pitcher or a dominant bullpen save. The bottom of the lineup proved crucial in the late rally.
The Pirates trailed 2-1 heading into the ninth, having stranded nine runners on base over the first seven innings against Baltimore starter Shane Baz. Pinch-hitter Jake Mangum sparked the comeback with a chopper to the right side of the infield. Orioles reliever Anthony Nunez failed to corral the ball cleanly, allowing Yorke to score from third and tie the game at 2-2. Reynolds then singled, setting up Yorke's game-winning double down the line.
