Pirates News
The Pirates fell to the Brewers again, losing 4-2 and extending their troubling stretch to 2-5 over the last week, with a run differential of -10. Rookie Paul Skenes struggled to make an impact, and despite the recent trade deadline activity aimed at sparking a postseason push, the team still looks adrift. Braxton Ashcraft will take the mound in today's finale, hoping to halt the losing skid and build on his recent success after two consecutive wins. Meanwhile, fans can't help but wonder if a reunion with Andrew McCutchen might inject some much-needed energy into this roster, especially with Oneil Cruz still on the injured list as his return timeline remains a mystery. The clock is ticking on the Pirates to find their rhythm.
