MLB Pittsburgh Pirates 2019

What Happened

The Atlanta Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates are tied 7-7 in the bottom of the 11th inning at Truist Park. With one out, Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley is hit by a pitch from Pittsburgh pitcher Yerry De Los Santos. Next up is second baseman Ozzie Albies, who takes the first two pitches for strikes. On the third pitch, Albies crushes a fastball deep to right field, scoring the speedy Riley from first base. Braves third base coach Ron Washington enthusiastically waves Riley home and Albies rounds the bases as his teammates rush out to celebrate the walk-off win. Albies is mobbed by his excited teammates, including outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. who bear-hugs the diminutive second baseman. First baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Brian McCann share a private moment, seemingly joking about the victory. The subdued utility player Johan Camargo hangs back, not fully engaging in the raucous celebration. Acuña tries to douse Albies with a Gatorade cooler, but the second baseman dodges the initial attempt before getting soaked on the second try. Albies then retaliates by dumping bubblegum on Acuña's head, evening the score in the team's playful celebration. "I'm just trying to put the ball in play and give my team a chance to win," Albies says after the game. "Luckily, I was able to connect and Austin scored all the way from first. It's a great feeling to come through for the team like that." The victory pushes the National League East-leading Braves' record to 82-52 on the season, extending their lead over the second-place New York Mets. For the Pirates, it's a tough loss as they continue to fight for position in the crowded National League Wild Card race.
