Pirates score 2 runs on one of the wildest plays of 2026

By the time it was over, the Pittsburgh Pirates had two runs,  Colorado Rockies pitcher Jose Quintana had an interference call, and nobody could figure out exactly what happened. It began innocently enough in the bottom of the second inning at PNC Park with what should have been an inning-ending play. With the bases loaded and two outs, Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros made a terrific stop on a Henry Davis rocket.

Instead of throwing to first base to try and get the Pirates’ young catcher, he threw to second, but Pirates infielder  Brandon Lowe had run through the bag and was on his way to third. No out and the play was still live. Idk what's happening here but we're on the board ‼️ pic.

Quintana, however, pushed Gonzales on the play and was called for interference. Gonzales scored. Davis, who reached on a fielder’s choice, took second in the chaos.
