Pirates Collect 20 Hits as Braxton Ashcraft Dominates Giants
Nick Gonzales and Joey Bart each had four hits as Pittsburgh scored four runs in the seventh and handed San Francisco its latest loss.
- On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants 13-3 at Oracle Park, with rookie designated hitter Bryce Eldridge providing the lone highlight by hitting his first career 364-foot solo home run.
- The Pirates' offense overwhelmed San Francisco's pitching staff, accumulating 20 hits—the most the Giants have surrendered this year—while starter Landon Roupp struck out eight but lasted only four-plus innings.
- Position player Christian Koss surrendered three runs in the ninth inning before being removed after Pirates reliever Cam Sanders hit him in the shoulder with a pitch.
- Manager Tony Vitello praised Eldridge, saying "he's always a bright spot as far as his attitude goes around the park," though Eldridge admitted he "blacked out a little bit" rounding the bases.
- The series concludes Sunday as Giants right-hander Tyler Mahle faces Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler, with San Francisco then heading to Los Angeles for four games against the Dodgers.
