After taking the first two games of the series, the Pittsburgh Pirates were unable to complete the sweep over the New York Yankees with a 6-4 loss at Yankee Stadium on Sunday to conclude the 2024 season.

The Yankees (94-68)  jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on Trent Grisham’s two-run home run against Bailey Falter in the first inning.

The Pirates (76-86) evened the score on Joshua Palacios’ two-run double in the third and took the lead on Jared Triolo’s sacrifice fly later in the inning.

Grisham drove in his third run of the game in the bottom of the third to once again tie the game 3-3. The Yankees reclaimed the lead when Giancarlo Stanton bounced into a double play but Gleyber Torres scored.
