Bazzana Hits 2-Run Homer in 9th to Rally Guardians to 5-3 Victory over Pirates
Bazzana drove a 414-foot shot for Cleveland’s fourth walk-off win of the season after the Guardians tied the game in the eighth.
- On Saturday night, Rookie All-Star Travis Bazzana hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, lifting the Cleveland Guardians to a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and splitting the doubleheader.
- The Pirates won the first game 7-1, forcing Cleveland into a deficit. Pittsburgh held a 3-0 lead through four innings, including an improbable RBI double by Esmerlyn Valdez in the third.
- Cleveland tied the game with three runs in the eighth inning. Pitcher Cade Smith earned the win after retiring the Pirates in order in the ninth, setting up Bazzana's 414-foot walk-off blast.
- Smoke from wildfires in Canada created hazy conditions in Cleveland, where outfielder Petey Halpin lost a fly ball in the lights. Pittsburgh catcher Rafael Flores later tagged out Patrick Bailey at home.
- The teams conclude their series tomorrow. Cleveland will send lefty Joey Cantillo to the mound, while Pittsburgh is scheduled to start NL All-Star Paul Skenes, who holds an 8-3 record with a 3.57 ERA.
