Well, that’s one way to lose.

Tommy Pham’s home run in the ninth pushed the game into extra innings, but the Pittsburgh Pirates were walked-off 3-2 in unusual fashion by the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night at Camden Yards.

Andrew McCutchen gave the Pirates (64-81) a first-inning lead with an RBI single in the game’s opening frame. The Orioles (67-77) immediately tied the game in the bottom of the inning on Ryan Mountcastle’s sac fly to center.

The score remained 1-1 until the sixth inning, when Jeremiah Jackson Braxton Ashcraft and belted a first-pitch fastball over the fence in right field.

The Pirates looked down and out but Tommy Pham led off the top of the ninth with a solo home run off Yennier Cano to push the game to extras.
