Giants comeback falls short, lose 4-3 to Pirates in extras

Despite a late-inning comeback attempt, the San Francisco Giants lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight 4-3 in ten innings.

Jordan Hicks was the player of the game, pitching into the seventh inning with one run (that he didn’t cash in) on five hits with a career-high nine strikeouts.

When he exited in the seventh, he had allowed a single to Connor Joe. Luke Jackson came in in relief after that, and had a nine-pitch battle with Jack Suwinski, who hit a ground ball to Nick Ahmed, who was covering second, that unfortunately hit him in the hand/wrist and caused him to not be able to make a play, and both runners reached safely.
