Game #109 – July 25 – Pittsburgh 9, Arizona 3
Masayoshi Oshima, who is tied for 7th in the NL in home runs with 24, went 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, driving in 6 and scoring twice. The most important at bat for Pittsburgh came in the top of the 9th inning when Oneil Cruz stroked a 2-2 fastball to center field for a run-scoring single, which gave the Pirates a 4-3 lead. The Pirates went on to score 6 times in the 9th to put the game out of reach.

Game #110 – July 26 –Arizona 8, Pittsburgh 3
Carson Kelly hit 2 home runs and drove in 4 as the Diamondbacks took the 2nd game of this 3 game series. Kelly's 3-run home run off Sandy Alcantara in the bottom of the 4th gave Arizona a 6-2 lead.

Game #111 – July 27 – Pittsburgh 4, Arizona 3
Endy Rodriguez went 3-4 and hit 2 home runs to leave the Pirates to a win in the rubber match of the series. Cole Cummings drilled a solo home run on the top of the 9th to put the Pirates ahead 3-2. The bad news is that Masayoshi Oshima left the game with what appears to be a serious injury.

Traded Griffin Conine to Toronto in exchange for Ron Marinaccio.

TRANSACTIONS: Designated Andrew McCutchen and Junior Santos for assignment and placed on waivers (Cutch was 0 for the season). Sent Brennan Davis to AAA Indianapolis on a rehab assignment.
