Pirates News
Tonight, the Pirates face the Los Angeles Dodgers with Paul Skenes on the mound, hoping to capitalize on his recent performance despite the bullpen's tendency to implode. Skenes, holding a 5.74 ERA, needs to be sharp against a potent Dodgers lineup to halt the team's recent slide. The Pirates are in a tricky spot, sitting at 34-32 and struggling with their relief pitching as they look to bolster the roster before the trade deadline. Meanwhile, Konnor Griffin's recovery from a forearm strain is delayed, further complicating the situation for a team that needs to turn its season around quickly. With Carson Fulmer now traded, the pressure mounts to find reliable arms, or the promising offensive output, which has been decent lately, especially at 5.9 runs per game, won’t matter much if the pitching continues to falter.
