Venezuelan infielder Thairo Estrada left the Pittsburgh Pirates on the field with his 11th home run of the season, sports media reported.
In this way, the Bay team achieved a disputed 8-7 victory against the Pirates thanks to the criollo’s blow in the bottom of the ninth episode to boost Mike Yastrzemski and leave the buccaneers on the field.
Estrada went 2-for-5 in the game with a home run, a run scored and two RBIs to put his batting average at .268.
Meanwhile, his compatriot Wilmer Flores went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs.
Flores has to date a batting average of .258 with 16 homers, 95 hits and 58 runs scored and RBI.
The Giants hold third place in the National League West division, 22.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and six and a half games behind San Diego.
Before starting the match, the Bahia team celebrated 10 years since winning the 2012 World Series, where Marco Scutaro was present.
Scutaro was vital at shortstop for those Giants, who swept the series against the Detroit Tigers 4-0.
Thairo said game over ✌️
