Pittsburgh Pirates Ace RHP Gerrit Cole goes No-Decision but not after going seven solid frames allowing one run and leaving the ball game with a 2-1 lead. Buccos OF Starlin Marte stole the show literally and figuratively as the Giants tied the game in the 8th only for Marte to go Walk-Off HR in the 9th.

Cole allowed an RBI single in the 5th by Ehire Adrianza making it 1-0 Giants. This was after the Giants almost made to 1-0 in the 2nd as Brandon Crawford hit one deep looking and sounding like a HR as Marte stole that bomb keeping things intact.

Jung Ho Kang tied it up in the bottom of the 5th with a solo bomb off Giants starter Mike Leake tying the game at 1-1. Leake also goes no-decision allowing a run through six frames. Kang would hit his 2nd of the game in the 7th for a Pirates 2-1 lead. Joakim Soria of the Buccos unleashed a wild pitch in the 8th as Matt Duffy scored tying the game at 2-2.

Then in the 9th it was Starlin Marte off Giants reliever George Kontos for a Walk-Off Bomb as the Buccos win 3-2 moving to 73-48. Bucs Captain Save-A-Game Mark Melancon also collects a "W" moving to 3-1. San Fran falls to 66-57 as their hard luck continues in close games in 2K15.
