The Giants looked set for a comfortable win this afternoon but baseball stuff got in the way. The lowly Pirates got a big inning against starter Alex Wood in the 5th to turn a 5-0 lead to a more modest 5-3. When John Brebbia took the hill in the 7th he put two on and gave up a three-run homer to make it 6-5 in favor of the visitors. It looked bleak but an error gifted the Giants the tying run in the bottom half. In the 9th the Giants gifted the Pirates a run on an error and nearly a second but for a nifty play at the plate by Joey Bart on a throw from Wilmer Flores.
