Griffin Shines as Pirates Edge Nationals | MLB News

Konnor Griffin delivered a monster day for the Pirates, smashing a two-run single in the eighth to break a tie and then adding a diving catch and backhanded grab in the outfield — proving why his $140M contract is worth every penny. Pittsburgh clawed back from a 4-run deficit, then exploded for 5 runs in the 8th, capped by Brandon Lowe’s 3-run homer. Soto earned the win as the young phenom, just 20, continues to dominate under pressure. Up next: Skenes vs. Atlanta on Tuesday.
