PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Nick Yorke<\/a> singled home Bryan Reynolds<\/a> in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> to a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Reynolds doubled against Ryan Helsley<\/a> (0-1) with one out. Baltimore then intentionally walked Ryan O’Hearn<\/a> to bring up Yorke, who had entered as a pinch runner in the eighth. Yorke worked the count to 2-2 and fouled off a couple of pitches before Helsley delivered a 99 mph fastball that home plate umpire Dan Iassogna ruled a ball.<\/p>\n

Helsley tapped his head to initiate an ABS challenge but the Orioles were out of them after failing on a pair of challenges earlier in the game. Yorke took the next pitch and lined a shot over the head of Baltimore left fielder Dylan Beavers<\/a> to lift the Pirates to their fourth straight victory.<\/p>\n

Reynolds had two of Pittsburgh’s eight hits. Jake Mangum<\/a> delivered a game-tying run with an infield single in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Dennis Santana<\/a> (2-0) pitched a perfect ninth to set the stage for Yorke.<\/p>\n

Adley Rutschman<\/a> had two hits for Baltimore. Beavers and Leodys Taveras each drove in a run for the Orioles, who have dropped four of five. Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso<\/a> went 0 for 4 and is now hitless in his last 11 at-bats.<\/p>\n

The Pirates tied it in the eighth thanks to some shaky glove work by the Orioles. Designated hitter Marcell Ozuna<\/a> reached when Baltimore third baseman Colby Mayo couldn’t wrangle a soft tapper. Yorke came on to run for Ozuna and made it to third via two groundouts and scored when Orioles second baseman Blaze Alexander<\/a> couldn’t cleanly field Mangum\u2019s chopper to the left side of the infield.<\/p>\n

Shane Baz<\/a> limited the Pirates to just one unearned run over 5 2\/3 innings. The right-hander \u2014 a former first-round pick by the Pirates in 2017 \u2014 missed out on his first victory with the Orioles since being acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay when Baltimore’s defense faltered late.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

The series wraps up on Sunday. Chris Bassitt<\/a> (0-1, 8.31 ERA) starts for Baltimore against Pittsburgh’s Braxton Ashcraft (0-1, 3.00). <\/p>\n
