Brandon Lowe scored on a ninth-inning throwing error after the Giants erased a six-run deficit and tied the game at 12, AP said.

  • On Tuesday at PNC Park, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants 13-12 after third baseman Oseilvis Basabe short-hopped a throw to first, allowing Brandon Lowe to score the winning run in the ninth inning.
  • The Pirates erupted for nine runs in the third inning against Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb, who surrendered a career-high nine runs while failing to complete three innings of work.
  • San Francisco rallied to tie the game at 12 in the eighth inning, fueled by a five-run flurry that included a two-run double by Drew Cavanaugh during the dramatic comeback.
  • Giants rookie left-hander Cesar Perdomo provided four innings of long relief to keep San Francisco in the game, while Pirates starter Paul Skenes also struggled, giving up five runs over 4 2/3 innings.
  • The series continues on Wednesday as the Giants, who fell to a National League-worst 24-46 on the road, seek to improve against the Pirates.
