Wed Apr 09 19:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Pirates Walk Off Against Yankees in 11-Inning Thriller

**Pittsburgh, PA** – Tommy Pham’s 11th-inning single propelled the Pittsburgh Pirates to a dramatic 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday, snapping a recent slump and securing only their second win in their last eight games.

The Yankees staged a remarkable comeback in the ninth, erasing a 4-1 deficit with three runs off Pirates reliever Ryan Borucki, who was vying for his first career save. Oswald Peraza’s two-out double and Trent Grisham’s two-run single, following Grisham’s two-homer performance the previous day, fueled the rally.

However, the Pirates answered in the bottom of the 11th. Automatic runner Jack Suwinski stole third before Pham launched a drive off the left-field wall, scoring Suwinski for the walk-off win and Pham’s fifth career game-winning hit. Devin Williams (0-1) took the loss for the Yankees. Joey Wentz earned the win for Pittsburgh with a scoreless 11th inning.

Pirates starter Andrew Heaney delivered a strong performance, allowing just one run and striking out 10 batters over seven innings. He continues his impressive start to the season after signing a one-year deal. The Yankees’ Will Warren started for New York, giving up four runs in four innings.

Cody Bellinger returned to the Yankees lineup after a two-game absence due to back stiffness.

The Yankees begin a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers on Monday, with an unusual early start time of 3:10 PM due to a predicted cold snap. The Pirates open a series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
