The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-2 at PNC Park on September 3, 2026, to clinch the series. The Pirates scored five runs without recording a single base hit, relying on walks, errors, and small ball. Khristian Curtis earned his first major league win, and Mason Montgomery secured his eighth save.
The Pirates selected Khristian Curtis from Triple-A Indianapolis for today’s doubleheader with the Guardians, giving the 24-year-old right-hander his MLB debut as Pittsburgh boosts pitching depth. Oneil Cruz is on the 60-day injured list and Wilber Dotel was activated, with Curtis likely used as a long reliever during a busy stretch ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Dotel carries a 5.89 ERA this season, while Cruz remains sidelined by a left-hand fracture.
