The Pittsburgh Pirates raised the Jolly Roger thanks to a walk-off sacrifice fly from the longest-tenured player on the roster, Gregory Polanco.
In the 3-2 win, the Pirates trailed 1-0 heading into the ninth inning, but Adam Frazier and Kevin Newman got on base and Bryan Reynolds brought Frazier home to tie the game.
The Pirates had their chance to win with no outs and a runner in scoring position in the ninth inning, but Jake McGee then struck out the next three batters to send the Pirates into their second extra-inning affair in three days.
