Overview

• Henry Davis’ fielder’s-choice grounder in the 10th inning secured a 2-1 victory and completed a three-game sweep of the Giants.
• Pittsburgh has won five straight games and seven of its last eight, lifting the last-place club into spoiler status in the late season.
• San Francisco went 0-6 on its homestand, marking its first winless six-game stretch since 1896, and dropped below .500 for the first time this season during an extended offensive slump.
• Andrew McCutchen’s 329th career homer, Liover Peguero’s first long ball in nearly two years and Joey Bart’s go-ahead RBI underscored the Pirates’ timely hitting.
• As Friday’s trade deadline approaches, multiple teams are circling Pittsburgh’s pitching depth, and the Giants are assessing upgrades to jump-start their lineup.
