Griffin’s Speed Saves the Game | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Konnor Griffin’s return was electric—no hits, but one jaw-dropping slide scored the Pirates’ only run in a 1-0 win over the Angels. The 20-year-old rookie, sidelined since early July, erupted with elite speed, dodging the tag and touching home plate in a play manager Don Kelly called “unbelievable.” Griffin, visibly emotional and hyped to be back, embraced the moment with his trademark hard-nosed intensity. Teammates laughed through the adrenaline, even pitcher Jared Jones admitting he was “scared” for Griffin during the slide. Fully healthy and dialed in, Griffin vows to give 100% every day now that his finger is healed—proving his all-around talent isn’t just hype, it’s game-changing.
