    Pirates Crush Another Lefty, Take Series From Red Sox in 8-3 Win

    The Pirates finally did damage against a left-handed starter, jumping Boston early in an 8-3 win to take two of three from the Red Sox. Esmerlyn Valdez, Bryan Reynolds and Brandon Lowe set the tone, Nick Yorke drove in three in his return, and the bullpen handled the rest around a two-and-a-half-hour rain delay. Jim and Doug break down the offensive approach, Lake Bachar’s three scoreless innings, Hunter Barco’s uneven outing, strong work from Kirby Yates and Camilo Doval, Mason Montgomery’s dominant stretch, and what the Pirates still need to do to make the final weeks of the season matter.

    Pirates Shut Out by Red Sox as Offense Goes Silent Again

    The Pirates were shut out 4-0 by the Red Sox as the offense failed to capitalize on its few opportunities against Sonny Gray. Jared Jones battled through five innings of one-run baseball with 17 whiffs, but Pittsburgh gave him absolutely no run support. DiNardo and Tyler break down Jones' outing, the continued offensive issues, Luke Weaver's rough ninth inning, strong work from the rest of the bullpen and the late news that Paul Skenes has been pushed back to Wednesday with Lake Bachar getting the start Sunday.

    Braxton Ashcraft’s Brilliant Complete Game Means More Than You Think

    Braxton Ashcraft delivered the best start of his MLB career Thursday, tossing an 85-pitch complete game with 10 strikeouts against the Marlins. Alex Stumpf breaks down what made Ashcraft so dominant, why the return of his sinker mattered, why Don Kelly was right to let him finish and, most importantly, what this performance says about Ashcraft’s workload and his place in the Pirates’ 2027 rotation.

    4% Playoff Odds: The Pirates Have Reached the Breaking Point

    The Pirates had their opportunity to get back into the Wild Card race. Instead, they went 2-4 against the Mets and Marlins and now sit 59-64, 5.5 games out of a playoff spot, last in the NL Central and 12th in the National League with just a 4% chance to reach the postseason. At this point, saying the season is essentially over isn't being dramatic. It's being realistic. Tonight on NS9LIVE!, we discuss Brandon Lowe's comments about the pressure surrounding these games, Don Kelly calling out the team's lack of fight after Wednesday's loss, and whether that message should have come much sooner. The Pirates responded with a 13-1 win today, but after winning just three of their previous 15 games, was it already too late? And even if the playoffs are no longer realistic, that can't become the mindset inside the clubhouse. There are still six weeks of baseball left. This team needs to compete, show some fight and play like there's still something on the line. Boston is next.

    The Pirates Have a Starting Pitching Problem They Can’t Fix

    The Pirates entered 2026 expecting their starting rotation to be one of the strengths of the team. Now Paul Skenes is being handled carefully, Mitch Keller is out, several young starters are approaching career-high workloads, and the fifth rotation spot has turned into a bullpen game. Alex Stumpf looks at how Pittsburgh plans to cover innings over the final stretch and why not adding another starter at the trade deadline looks increasingly questionable.
