The Pittsburgh Pirates (20–27) made a wild comeback victory in the ninth inning, having blown a four-run lead, to win 6–5 against the league-leading Los Angeles Dodgers (33–15) on Memorial Day.
In May, the Pirates have defeated the Dodgers in three out of four games. However, the Dodgers have climbed to tie the Yankees with the best record in MLB after a four-game sweep of the Diamondbacks.
