NEW YORK (Interstat) — The Pittsburgh Pirates used a two-run 10th inning to overcome a late Yankees rally and beat New York 5-3 Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium II.

Mason Montgomery earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief, and Gregory Soto notched his 13th save with a perfect 10th inning as Pittsburgh improved to 53-49. The Yankees dropped to 56-45.

Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller delivered a bounce-back performance, allowing three hits over five scoreless innings with six strikeouts. He left with a 2-0 lead after the top of the fifth, when Nick Gonzales singled and Jacob Gonzalez followed with a two-run homer to right field off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.

Cole worked seven innings, striking out 11 while yielding four hits and three earned runs. He kept the Yankees in the game until the bottom of the seventh, when New York erupted for three runs to tie it. Ryan McMahon led off with a ground-rule double, Austin Wells walked and Ben Rice crushed a three-run homer to right field, his 30th of the season.

The game remained 3-3 into extra innings. In the top of the 10th, Pittsburgh put runners on base against Yankees reliever Fernando Cruz. With one out, Nick Gonzales reached on a fielder’s choice and scored on a single by Jared Triolo. Billy Cook, who had entered as a pinch runner, scored on a base hit by Jake Mangum, giving the Pirates a 5-3 lead.

New York threatened in the bottom of the 10th, but Soto retired the side in order, striking out Cody Bellinger to end the game.

Pirates third baseman Nick Gonzales went 2 for 4 with a solo home run in the seventh inning that gave Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead at the time. Gonzalez finished 1 for 4 with two RBIs.

For the Yankees, Rice’s homer was his only hit in five at-bats. Designated hitter Ben Rice drove in all three New York runs.

Pittsburgh outhit New York 7-6. The game lasted 3 hours, 10 minutes in front of 43,290 fans.

The Pirates had lost the first two games of the series, including an 8-5 defeat Monday and a rainout Tuesday. The win snapped a two-game losing streak.

Keller’s outing marked a sharp turnaround from his previous start July 9, when he lasted only three innings and allowed three earned runs against Atlanta.

Yankees reliever David Bednar pitched a scoreless eighth inning with one hit allowed and one strikeout. Brent Headrick struck out three in a perfect ninth for New York.

The Pirates managed only four hits against Cole through seven innings, but they capitalized when Gonzalez’s homer broke a scoreless tie in the fifth.

Pittsburgh will host the Chicago Cubs on Friday to begin a six-game homestand. The Yankees travel to Philadelphia for a three-game series starting Friday.
