The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the San Francisco Giants 13-12 in a Tuesday night game that turns on a late defensive mishap. In the bottom of the ninth, Brandon Lowe scores from third after San Francisco third baseman Oseilvis Basabe fields a ground ball and makes a throw to first with two outs. The throw gets away, allowing Lowe to cross the plate and leaving the Pirates with the one-run win.
Yahoo Sports describes how the Pirates build pressure in the ninth inning: Lowe leads off with a hit and later reaches third, setting up the decisive at-bat. Lowe then scores following a hard ground ball by backup catcher Rafael Flores Jr. Basabe records the out on the play but the throw error at first prevents the inning-ending result. The reporting focuses on the sequence of offensive events and the specific error that seals the outcome, with limited additional context from the other outlet provided here.
