Nick Yorke hits walk-off double to lift Pirates Saturday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Apr 5th 8:47am EDT
Nick Yorke's only at bat of the game resulted in a walk-off RBI double off of Baltimore reliever, Ryan Helsley, with one out in the bottom of the ninth as the Pirates came from behind to defeat Baltimore, 3-2, on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Yorke came on to pinch run for Marcell Ozuna in the bottom of the eighth and he came in to score the Pirates' tying run on an RBI single from Jake Mangum. Then, in the ninth, Bryan Reynolds started the rally with a one-out double and, after an intentional walk to Ryan O'Hearn, Yorke laced a double to left to bring home Reynolds for the winning run. Yorke is now 3-for-11 (.273) with two RBI and a 4:2 BB:K ratio through five appearances this season. He doesn't play enough yet to merit fantasy consideration.
