“The two-out walk there came back to bite us.” Warren said, “Other than that, I feel like I made a lot of good pitches… Two-out walks can't happen. That's where they get you.” 

Austin Wells picked up a two-out triple but was stranded following a Jason Dominguez strikeout in the top of the 4th inning. 

Tommy Pham picked up a sacrifice fly for the Pirates in the bottom of the 4th inning to make it a 3-1 Pirates lead, then a couple of batters later, Isiah Kiner-Falefa ripped an RBI double into the left-center gap to make it a 4-1 ballgame. 

Paul Goldshmidt picked up a two-out single in the top of the 5th inning, but that would be all for the Yankees.

Then, with two outs, Jason Dominguez worked a walk followed by an RBI double from Oswald Peraza to make it a 4-2 game. The next batter, Trent Grisham, hit a game-tying 2-run single when the Yankees were down to their final strike to tie the game 4-4 in the top of the 9th.

“Great job by the guys bouncing back late.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, “A little bit of a tough day offensively by us, but what a great rally there to get back in the game in the 9th and give us a chance.” 

Luke Weaver came in to replace Gomez on the mound in the bottom of the 9th; he worked a 1-2-3 inning and sent the game to extra innings.

Another former Yankee, Caleb Ferguson, came in to pitch the top of the 10th and worked a scoreless inning. 

Weaver stayed in the game to pitch the bottom of the 10th, as he worked into and out of trouble, picking up a strikeout to strand the bases loaded.
