What happened: Bryan Reynolds delivered a historic performance on Tuesday night, hitting solo and two-run home runs from opposite sides of the plate to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Athletics. Reynolds finished the game 4-for-5 with three RBIs, extending his active on-base streak to 23 games.

Why it matters: The power display sparked a four-run rally after the Pirates trailed 4-0 early at Sutter Health Park. The win brings Pittsburgh back to a .500 record (37-37) as they remain in the hunt for a National League wild-card spot, underscored by the performance of the same Ritchie-era core currently stabilizing the roster.

What to watch: The Pirates conclude their series against the Athletics on Wednesday with Braxton Ashcraft scheduled to start on the mound.
