Giants overcome Pirates rally to win 6-5

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Freddy Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning after failing to drive in the go-ahead run two innings earlier, and the San Francisco Giants bounced back from pinch-hitter Delwyn Young’s tying two-run homer to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 on Sunday.

Andres Torres doubled off Octavio Dotel (2-1) and moved up on his wild pitch ahead of a mid-range fly ball to center by Sanchez, who went 7 for 13 in his first series in Pittsburgh since being traded to the Giants in July.

Brian Wilson (2-0) got four outs for the victory despite blowing his second save in 16 opportunities, but need Santiago Casilla to get the final two outs for his first save since Sept. 22, 2008, while with Oakland.

Casilla struck out Jeff Clement with runners on second and third to end the game.
