Pirates News
The Pittsburgh Pirates are reeling from a disheartening 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins, marking a grim 1-6 stretch in the last week with an offense averaging a meager 2.9 runs per game. Tonight, Carmen Mlodzinski takes the mound in hopes of reigniting a team that has struggled to show competitive spirit, much to the dismay of manager Don Kelly, who called out the lack of fight in recent games. Meanwhile, the bullpen has emerged as a silver lining post-deadline, bolstered by new names like Luke Weaver and Kirby Yates, but even that bright spot can't overshadow the anxiety surrounding Oneil Cruz's rehab and the overall direction of the team. As the Pirates look to turn things around against the Marlins again, the urgency to compete is palpable.
