PITTSBURGH—Nick Gonzales hit the first pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning for a run-scoring single that lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates to an unlikely 7–6 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.

Gonzales’ leadoff hit up the middle off Erik Miller (0–2) scored automatic runner Connor Joe from second base and ended a season-high four-game winning streak for the Giants, who blew a 6–2, ninth-inning lead. The Pirates have won four of their past five games.
