Pirates Edge White Sox in Thriller | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates pulled off a dramatic 4-2 win over the White Sox, fueled by a clutch solo homer from Esmerlyn Valdez and a gritty bullpen performance. After cruising to a 4-0 lead thanks to Rafael Flores Jr. and Connor Griffin’s big hits, a costly basepath error let the White Sox chip away. Seby Zavala’s two-run blast in the 8th cut it to 4-2, sparking a benches-clearing moment — but the Pirates held strong, with Mason Montgomery locking down the save in the 9th. The win gives Pittsburgh a .500 record and keeps them two games ahead in the Central Division as they prepare for a final showdown against Chicago.
