7/30/25 Pirates edge Giants in 10 innings for fifth straight win. On a day that began with one team acquiring a Rogers twin while the other traded one away, the Pittsburgh Pirates scored a 10-inning run without the benefit of a hit and held on to defeat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 to complete a three-game road sweep Wednesday afternoon. Neither Rogers brother was available for the series finale, with the left-handed Taylor having been dealt from the Cincinnati Reds to the Pirates shortly before the righty Tyler was dealt from the Giants to the New York Mets. With extra-innings ghost runner Oneil Cruz on third after an infield out and Jack Suwinski, who had walked, on first, Giants reliever Ryan Walker (2-4) coaxed a comebacker out of Henry Davis.
