Ashcraft Shines as Pirates Crush Mariners

Braxton Ashcraft dominated with 10 strikeouts and just one run allowed over six innings, setting the tone for a Pirates’ 11-1 demolition of the Mariners. The offense exploded in the fourth with five runs, then added more in the seventh and eighth, led by Endy Rodríguez and Tyler Callihan. Ashcraft made history as the first Pirate pitcher since modern times to record two games with 10+ strikeouts and zero walks in one season. Ryan O’Hearn went 4-for-5 with three doubles and three RBIs, while Bryan Reynolds extended his on-base streak to 29 games — the longest active in the league. The Pirates aim to keep rolling as they close out the series with a young starter and a hot bat. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
