Isiah Kiner-Falefa Walks It Off in Win | Giants vs. Pirates Game Highlights (8/4/25)

Johan Oviedo back on the P MC park mound for the first time since September 15th, 2023. In those six, rehab starts one and 23, 12 of the, er A I like the strikeout numbers 21 in 17 and a third innings. Didn’t walk many guys opponents hit just 215. So looking forward to seeing, you know, whether got this evening, I’m sure he’s excited, got some nerves big night for him. All right, here comes Elliott Ramos Ramos up the middle over the backhanded Gonzalez. The long throw is off line and Elliott’s got another infield hit. He leads the Giants infield. Here is that, is ball four, curveball, low Devers draws the walk and the Giants right away are putting pressure on Oviedo and the Giants with something brewing in the first inning, have two on with nobody out here is Willie adam, he almost hit him, it goes off the glove apart , it’s ball four and the bases are loaded. Nobody out. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Oscar tells him for one. Calm him down a bit. I’m sure there’s some nerves, you know, maybe try to get him to be a little more aggressive with that fastball pitch off it , especially against a guy like Chapman who has not hit the fastball that great this year against right handed pitching. I’ll say three pitches in the strikeout one down. That’s being aggressive with the fastball coming right at you. Dominic Smith. Smith has been one of the giants hottest hitters over the last couple of weeks. Smith swings lines it in the left center field. A base hit Ramos will score the ball out there in left center by Cruz, but Devers had already held up at third and Cruz able to recover as he scrambles to his right to pick it up. Smith comes through again. Giants picking up right where they left off in New York lead one now, 32 pitch that’s ball four Schmidt draws the walk and it’s two nothing. He walks three in the inning two , nothing. Yeah, I doubt they’re going to want him to get the 40 pitches, you know, coming off the injury the most. He’s thrown in a rehab start with 63 and that’s over five innings. So they don’t want to, if he doesn’t get out of the sitting, this might be his last batter. There is the strikeout and two down, two men are out now for Patrick Bailey. Well, that was work, but he’s back in the big leagues. Johan Oviedo gives up two veteran right hander, Justin Verlander and Justin Verlander one and 889 in the third inning , 77 strikeouts, two good starts in a row. A really good start against the Pirates where he went five gave up one struck out seven and just seven strikeouts away from 3500. Geez, he does stay hot laces it into left center and dropped by Ramos Horwitz to second base and immediately the Pirates have a runner in scoring position. That will be a single for Horowitz and an error on the Giants left fielder Elliott Ramos allowing Horowitz to take second over the course of his career. Tommy Pham against Verlander is six for nine hit hard on the ground picked by a very nice play by adam goes to third one out, will concede a run and Gonzalez will get that run home the ball to the right fielder mcrae Hritz on the board after the hit and the air was charged to Ramos Huritz goes to third on the ground ball and scores on the fly off. This time, he struck him out with the slider. A run for the Pirates. That was kind of a wild first inning. We go to the 2nd 2 to 1. Giants Obiedo is done for the night. He’s seeded there and went from johan to Johan ramirez six games , 11 innings. 491 a swing and a miss, he struck out on the slider one out back to the top of the order for Elliott Ramos pitch, swinging a ground ball to short scoop by Piro and on the first round, number two deep third FFA safe at first. I would think that would be getting challenged. They will challenge. Yeah, that looked uh yeah, there you see it, that looked like that throw beat him but barely after review, the call on the field is overturned. The runner is out out. Number one here is Leo Peguero. Here is a swing and a miss back to the curve career strikeout number 3495 that will allow chapman to move up to second. Now the Giants have a runner in scoring position. 11 is a line drive off of the pitcher ramirez to the second baseman Gonzalez. He’ll pick it up but will have no Schmidt is safe. Chapman advances to third. He fell off to the first base side of the mound and just stabbed at it with his glove. He almost caught it. He just flipped his glove up at the last second and ticked off it, casey Schmidt to first and now Jung Lee has a chance to extend the 2 to 1 lead swinging a ground ball to short peguero got a big hop flip it on to Gonzalez covering and that’s that one down brings up Andrew Mccutchen Hammer to center field and extra bases for andrew Mccutchen. A one out double. Here’s Leo Peguero sharply hit. Oh what a play by chapman and this time never can’t make the pick and look at Peguero, not hesitate. Go to second base and that’s a nice pick chapman going down to his left and just throws a change up over there. That’s a tough one to pick Chapman’s 11th error. 2nd and 3rd 1 out for Sowinski contact like leon on the ground to Devers. He’s going to come home and the tag he is out nice play by Bailey. The throw sailed on Devers just a little bit and Bailey was able to catch it and get the tag on Mccutchen 1st and 3rd. Now, two outs, second base, they help the runner but it’s a stolen base. No play. So a stolen base puts the go ahead run. Now in scoring position. Giants leading 2 to 1 in the bottom of the 4th 22 is strike three again at 98 and right over that outside corner to a rally created by a couple of walks. Giants have drawn five walks. Now in this game here comes one of their hottest hitters do Smith with two on and nobody out strikeout. Good job coming back there, casey Schmidt, swing fly ball toward the notch, not quite that deep though. And Cruz will make the catch out number two. And here comes Jung Ho Lee swings line drive right center field. He’s got a hit and it’s going to split the outfielders roll to the wall. Madonna scores right behind him. Chapman, he’ll score lead to third the slide. He’s safe a two out two run. Triple Jung Ho Lee have himself a road trip and the Giants now lead 4 to 1, 12 little cue shot and Verlander couldn’t get it. But luckily he’s got matt chapman playing behind him. He’s everywhere. Verlander throwing 98 laying out. He’s feeling, he’s feeling fresh man down. Everybody had a little fun with that one man. I got walked only one and the only run that he’s allowed an unearned run as pham swings and misses struck him out with a changeup in the dirt. Bailey tags out Pham and the side is retired Verlander with an inspired effort tonight. Five strong innings giving up only the three hits and one run and there is ball four and a start. Get it ready. Jack that bat head out to one of these fastballs coming your way , swinging a deep fly ball to right Soins has gotten into this one home run for Jack Soins, a two run shot and the Pirates within a run here in the seventh and we are right back in this game, one run down. Now, bottom of the ninth inning. 4 to 3. Giants Rodriguez trying to get a four out save in this game and he missed ball four trying to throw a 31 slider and missed and he’ll put the tying run on base on a walk with nobody out. And here comes reynolds to pinch hit, swings and misses struck him out. With a high slider and a big first out in the bottom of the ninth for Randy Rodriguez. Now Jack Zawinski hit a two run home run in his last at bat, oh , hit him in the elbow and that doesn’t feel good 1st and 2nd hit by the pitch tying run in scoring position. They’re not even checking on Salinsky wouldn’t Joey Bart love to beat his old team here, line drive base hit to left center field, well, score into third base on the RB. I hit by Bart Jack Zinsky, the former giant catcher Joey Bart ties the game 90 ft away to win the game infield in the batter. Isaiah Kiner-Falefa little dribbler right side breaking for the plate. So they’re going to challenge the call at the plate and there you see it. Yeah, I mean, as long as he hit the plate, he’s there easily. New York has an answer. The call in the raise it again. Officially, the Bucks come back and score twice in the bottom of the ninth. The last time they had a come from behind walk off win in the ninth inning was August 25th last year against the Reds. Give the RB I to Kiner FEP and what a job by Jack Soins.

The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 in a walkoff win at on August 8, 2025 at PNC Park. Johan Oviedo returned to the mound with three strikeouts in the first inning. Jack Suwinski hit a 2-run home run in the seventh inning and Isiah Kiner-Falefa walked it off for the Bucs in the 9th.
