SF Giants erupt in 10th inning to sweep series from Pirates

Slumbering offensively for the better part of the previous 18 innings, the Giants erupted for five runs in the 10th Sunday in an 8-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete a three-game sweep at PNC Park.

The Giants opened the ninth with a single by Wilmer Flores against Pittsburgh reliever Yerry De Los Santos (0-1), advancing free runner Casey Schmitt to third base. Pederson was next and flew out to center to drive in Schmitt, and after J.D. Davis walked, Michael Conforto doubled to right center to bring in two more runs.

They weren’t done, with Patrick Bailey, who had entered as defensive replacement, doubling in two more runs for a five-run lead.
