Pirates News
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in a rough patch, coming off a disappointing series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and entering a crucial matchup against the Miami Marlins with a 2-5 record over the last week. The team's pitching woes are glaring, as evidenced by a bullpen ERA of 4.57 that ranks among the worst in the National League. In an attempt to stabilize the shaky relief corps, the Pirates have called up 22-year-old Antwone Kelly, who brings triple-digit heat despite unimpressive minor league numbers. Meanwhile, Mitch Keller's regression raises serious concerns about the rotation's depth and the team's overall competitiveness. As the Pirates gear up for a weekend series at PNC Park, they must find a way to improve their late-game performance before their playoff hopes slip further away.
