Overview

• Yastrzemski scaled the right-field wall at Oracle Park in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s tied game to catch a foul fly that looked destined for the netting.
• He clung to the ball while entangled in the netting and was helped free by an umpire before returning to the field uninjured.
• The play ended a crucial plate appearance by Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski and preserved the 1-1 tie late in the contest.
• Batting .230 with eight home runs and 28 RBIs through 95 games, Yastrzemski has emerged as a key contributor in the Giants’ push for a wild-card spot.
• As grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, his standout catch underscores both his personal resurgence and his family’s baseball legacy.
