Raise it!
Since the All-Star break, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been on a torrid pace, going 5-1 with three walk-offs - this one courtesy of rookie Max Moroff who hit a single in the 10th inning to score Josh Harrison.
Wednesday night's comeback victory over the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers was also the 10th win in 12 games for the Pirates, who have now leapfrogged the St. Louis Cardinals in the standings and are four games back of first place.
The Brewers led 2-1 heading into the ninth inning, but a Francisco Cervelli single scored Moroff in the bottom of the ninth off of Corey Knebel to tie the game, which paved the way for Moroff's extra-innings heroics.
Moroff's walk-off comes just three days after the 24-year-old switch-hitter hit his first big-league home run - a solo shot that gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning against the Cardinals on Sunday.
