Pirates News
The Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the Miami Marlins 4-2, marking their sixth consecutive loss and dropping their record to 36-36, with Paul Skenes suffering yet another defeat despite a stellar performance that included 10 strikeouts and a career-high 23 whiffs. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Skenes needs run support, as he’s now 0-4 in six starts, a troubling statistic for a player expected to lead the rotation. Meanwhile, the absence of Oneil Cruz continues to loom large, contributing to a lack of offensive firepower as the team struggles to generate consistent runs. With a recent 2-5 stretch and a concerning run differential of -18, the Pirates desperately need to turn things around in their series finale against the Marlins today.
