00:01On the mound tonight for the Pittsburgh Pirates,

00:03rookie 23-year-old right-hander Miguel Yajure

00:07is making a second start of his big league career.

00:10Pitched pretty well on his last.

00:12Retired the 11 of the first 13 batters,

00:14but then ran in some trouble in the fifth inning.

00:17Mike Tauchman will stand in.

00:19Got in on his hands, popped it up third base way.

00:21Defoe is there, and in foul ground,

00:24he makes a catch for the first out.

00:26There's that cutter.

00:27Mike Yastrzemski, the hitter now.

00:29Swing and a miss.

00:31And he strikes out Yastrzemski.

00:33The throw to first completes it.

00:35That's the second out,

00:36and Buster Posey will bat with the bases empty.

00:39Swing and a soft liner out to left into that sun field.

00:42Tom is there to squeeze it,

00:44and the Giants are gone in order.

00:46One, two, three.

00:47On the bump for the Giants tonight, Kevin Gossman,

00:49their ace going to his eighth start of the season.

00:52He's 3-0 with a 1-9-7,

00:5445 and two-thirds innings pitched,

00:56more than a strikeout an inning,

00:57only 12 walks, lefties, righties.

00:59As you can see, very, very difficult to hit,

01:02no matter what side of the plate that you're hitting from.

01:05Adam Frazier swings at the first pitch from Gossman

01:07and pops it up.

01:08Shallow left field.

01:09Crawford going back from short underneath it,

01:11and he makes a catch.

01:12I think Gossman will take that.

01:14One pitch, one out.

01:15The shortstop, Kevin Newman.

01:17Here's a swing and a chopper to short.

01:18Crawford's got it.

01:19He'll throw to first in plenty of time to get Newman,

01:21who does have pretty good speed.

01:23That is out number two.

01:24Two down for Brian Reynolds.

01:27Reynolds pulls one sharply, but right to first.

01:30Belt playing behind the bag has it.

01:31He's going to race to first base,

01:33and he'll get there ahead of Reynolds.

01:34Gossman retires the side in order.

01:36Brandon Belt will start it off for San Francisco.

01:39That one is down and in.

01:40Ball four.

01:41So Belt draws the walk.

01:42That's the first base runner for the Giants in this game.

01:46Avalon Goria comes up now.

01:48Strike three.

01:49Call.

01:50And Tom Hallion, just my favorite,

01:52with that demonstrative strike three-looking call.

01:55So the veteran is out.

01:56One away.

01:57Brandon Crawford.

01:58Crawford swings and hits it right to the second baseman,

02:00Frazier.

02:01On the short one.

02:02Relay.

02:03Two.

02:04A double play.

02:05A 4-6-3 double play ends the inning.

02:08The cleanup hitter, Will Craig, delete things off.

02:11Gossman's one-two pitch is swung on and missed.

02:14Strike three.

02:15Splitter got him.

02:16That's the first.

02:17Kevin Gossman strikeout.

02:19Here's a fastball.

02:20Strike three called on the outside corner.

02:22Polanco disagreed, but that is out number two.

02:26Two down, back-to-back strikeouts for Gossman.

02:281-0 pitch.

02:30That one's popped up by Kai Tom.

02:32It's a six up, six down for the Pirates to start against Gossman.

02:36Wilmer Flores leading off for the Giants in the third inning.

02:39Check swing and Craig is going to try to track that down.

02:42Oh, what a nice bobbling catch over the shoulder.

02:45No reason to get fancy with it like he did, but he made a nice catch.

02:49Here's Duggar.

02:50Strike three called.

02:51Right on the outer edge.

02:52His command is really good.

02:54Yahoo.

02:55Two down.

02:56And up comes Gossman.

02:58It's a swing and a ball hit right back up the middle into center field.

03:01Base hit.

03:02Kevin Gossman has started to swing the bat a little bit.

03:05It's a two out single for the pitcher.

03:07And who knows?

03:09Maybe Mike Tauchman can run into one and that turns into something big for the Giants.

03:13Swing in the liner.

03:14Caught.

03:15Got a guy there.

03:16Yeah, Defoe Wright in position.

03:17And that ends the inning.

03:18It'll be the top of the order Adam Frazier to face Kevin Gossman.

03:22Nine up nine down for Gossman thus far.

03:242-1 is lined in the right and a base hit.

03:27First hit for the Pirates.

03:28First base runner for the Pirates.

03:30And now the leadoff man aboard in front of Newman.

03:33Lines out one.

03:34Duggar is going to make a diving catch.

03:36Nice play Steven Duggar.

03:38Wow.

03:39That guy can play a center field, huh?

03:41That was dead hit written all over it off the bat.

03:44And that'll bring up Brian Reynolds.

03:46Reynolds goes down swinging.

03:48He actually tipped a piece of it, but Posey held on strike three.

03:51Gossman's fifth strikeout of the game.

03:54Struck him out with the splitter.

03:55He threw a great one there.

03:57So two more strikeouts for Gossman.

03:59Well, I think we're all still waiting for Wilmer Flores to get it going.

04:02I mean, look at that batting average.

04:03It's down to 189.

04:05Swing and a base.

04:06Flores down on strikes.

04:08Miguel Yajure has given up one hit through five scoreless innings.

04:13Gregory Polanco for the Pirates against Kevin Gossman,

04:17who's been great again.

04:19What else is new?

04:20Polanco grounds one toward third and passed the drawn in Longoria.

04:24It trickles into left field.

04:26Polanco going to second and throws off line.

04:29He has a hustle double.

04:31How did that ball turn into a double?

04:33The ship taketh.

04:35And that might be the worst hit double in the history of the game.

04:38Oh, the first runner in scoring position.

04:41Got him with the splitter.

04:42Just nasty.

04:44Guy knows how to pitch.

04:45Seven strikeouts.

04:46Two-two.

04:47Fastball struck him out right into the middle Posey.

04:50Two down.

04:51Oh, two.

04:52He got the splitter and Gossman struck him out.

04:55Too nasty.

04:56Bottom of the six.

04:57Kevin Gossman's been great, but so has the Pirates pitching.

05:01Ben Gamble strikes out swinging.

05:03That's four strikeouts in a row and number ten in the game.

05:07One-two in the dirt with the splitter.

05:09He went around.

05:10That's strike three.

05:11Tom Allian says Posey gets the put out at first.

05:14And Kevin Gossman strikes out Reynolds for his 11th strikeout.

05:19Brandon Crawford for the Giants in the eighth inning.

05:21Giants still have not had a runner at second base in this game.

05:26A fastball is hit high in the air to right field and pretty deep.

05:29Polanco is back at the wall.

05:31It is gone.

05:34A home run for Brandon Crawford just over that 21-foot high wall.

05:39And that's the first run of the game.

05:41It's one to nothing.

05:42Kevin Gossman's going to take his time warming up for the bottom of the eighth

05:46as he stays in the game.

05:48Swung on and missed.

05:49Strike three.

05:50And it was a great splitter for a career-high 12th strikeout for Kevin Gossman.

05:55Two down.

05:56And it'll be Troy Stokes who hits.

05:59It's grounded to the right side.

06:01Belt playing way off the line.

06:02Has it.

06:03Flips underhand style to Gossman who races to the bag and gets there ahead of Stokes

06:07for out number three.

06:09Eight beautiful innings pitched by Kevin Gossman tonight.

06:12Bottom of the ninth inning in Pittsburgh.

06:14Very exciting night for Kevin Gossman.

06:16Let's see if he can finish it off.

06:18So a couple little bloops and the Pirates are set up here in the ninth inning.

06:23First and third and still nobody out.

06:25That's going to do it for Kevin Gossman.

06:27Great outing by Kevin.

06:28Jake McGee will come in to pitch and try to get the Giants through.

06:32Brian Reynolds, the former Giants minor leaguer,

06:34who's turned himself into the best Pirates player, is coming up here.

06:38Through the right side.

06:39Base hit.

06:40Pirates have tied the game.

06:42Brian Reynolds ties the game with a signal to right.

06:46Now the Giants are 90 feet away from taking a lead.

06:49Crawford at third.

06:50One out.

06:51And Austin Slater's got a chance.

06:52Hits this one.

06:53A little bloop into right field.

06:55It's going to get down for a hit.

06:56And that will put the Giants ahead.

06:58Two to one Giants.

07:00Adam Frazier.

07:01Three hits and four at bats.

07:03Stands in against Berger.

07:05And a swing and a fly ball.

07:06Out to right.

07:08Toward the wall.

07:09And off the wall.

07:10Off the glove.

07:11Off the glove.

07:12Go.

07:13And Yaz falls down.

07:14Here comes Perez.

07:15He's in to score.

07:16Frazier's at third with nobody out.

07:19A game tying triple.

07:21The fourth hit of the night for Adam Frazier.

07:24Two intentional walks.

07:26Bases loaded.

07:27One out.

07:28Polanco is 0 for 19 against lefties this year.

07:30Swing and a fly ball.

07:31Hit deeply enough to center.

07:33This will score Frazier.

07:35And the Pirates walk off winners on the sacrifice fly by Gregory Polanco.
