May 11, 2025; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale (51) pitches to Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes (13) during the first inning at PNC Park. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Joey Bart had two hits plus the walk-off fielder’s choice in the bottom of the ninth to lift the host Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon.
With the bases loaded and one out, Bart bounced a hard shot into the hole that Atlanta shortstop Nick Allen reached with a diving backhand. His hurried throw home was late and off-line, allowing Adam Frazier to score the winning run.
The Pirates won for the second time in three games since dismissing former manager Derek Shelton and promoting bench coach Don Kelly. It was their first series win since taking two of three at the Los Angeles Angels on April 22-24.
Frazier led off the ninth with a pinch-hit single off Braves reliever Raisel Iglesias (2-3). Ke’Bryan Hayes followed with a single to put runners on the corners with no outs. Bryan Reynolds grounded out and Andrew McCutchen was walked intentionally to load the bases, setting up Bart’s game-winner.
It was Bart’s second walk-off of the season and the Pirates’ third overall. Bart, who had two RBI, followed up a four-hit game on Saturday.
The Pirates prevailed despite letting a 3-0 lead slip away in the eighth inning when Sean Murphy roped a three-run double with two outs to the left-center gap off reliever Joey Wentz.
The Braves loaded the bases after the Pirates replaced reliever Ryan Borucki, who recorded the first two outs of the inning, with Tanner Rainey. Austin Riley singled, Matt Olson doubled and Rainey walked Marcell Ozuna before he was replaced by Wentz.
Dennis Santana (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for Pittsburgh to keep the game tied.
Pirates starter Carmen Mlodzinski pitched a career-high 5 2/3 innings and dueled with reigning Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale, who was unable to replicate the success of his previous two starts despite striking out eight. Sale allowed three runs (two earned), eight hits and two walks on 99 pitches over 5 2/3 innings. Mlodzinski allowed four hits, struck out two and walked one.
Drake Baldwin and Allen each had two hits to lead the Braves.
Pittsburgh’s Alexander Canario, who doubled and walked, started in center field as Oneil Cruz sat out with lower back tightness that knocked him out of Saturday’s game after 10 innings.

Five reasons for Edmonton Oilers fans to be optimistic about Stanley Cup pursuit
The Edmonton Oilers are playing at a high level this spring, and fans are talking Stanley Cup. Despite an enormous gap between top and bottom performances (we’ve seen both in the postseason), Edmonton is on the verge of advancing to the third round of the playoffs.Here are five reasons Oilers fans should be optimistic about the team.AdvertisementConnor McDavid: The best is yet to comeMany observers have expressed that Connor McDavid has more to give this spring.The numbers show he’s delivering at a high level in the biggest part of the game.

PGA Championship: Rory McIlroy shares his side of silent-Masters story with Bryson DeChambeau
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It’s PGA Championship week, but there’s still a bit of unresolved business left over from the Masters. You probably remember that Rory McIlroy won that tournament in dramatic fashion, achieving the dream of a lifetime.Bryson DeChambeau sure remembers, because as he said afterward, McIlroy didn’t talk to him during the entire final round on Sunday. DeChambeau bested McIlroy at the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, and the two were together in the last pairing of this year’s Masters. DeChambeau even briefly held the lead before McIlroy flexed and finally surged ahead of his LIV Golf rival for good.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDeChambeau often comes across these days as a very large puppy eager to be loved, and it was pretty clear he was somewhat hurt — or at the very least confused — by McIlroy not speaking to him all afternoon.“Didn’t […]
