Pirates News
The Pittsburgh Pirates are entering the second half of the season with a chip on their shoulder after being snubbed at the All-Star Game, a glaring oversight for a team boasting the third-ranked offense in baseball. Bryan Reynolds, who sits second in the league with 68 runs scored, was overlooked despite his impressive performance. Meanwhile, Paul Skenes and Braxton Ashcraft were in Philadelphia, proving they can pitch with the best while also showcasing their personalities. With a strong 5-2 record over the past week and a +12 run differential, the Pirates are heating up as they look to build on their momentum. This week’s offensive surge, averaging 6.9 runs per game, reflects their potential, and it’s time for the rest of the league to take notice as the Pirates gear up for a playoff push.
