Ashcraft’s Historic 9-Inning Gem | Pittsburgh News

Pirates obliterate Marlins 13-1 in a dominant showcase of pitching and power, led by Braxton Ashcraft’s historic complete game—9 innings, 3 hits, 10 strikeouts, and just 85 pitches. It’s the first such game for Pittsburgh since Mitch Keller and the first under 100 pitches since Ivan Nova in 2017. Rafael Flores blasts two three-run homers, while Jared Triolo, Jacob Gonzalez, and Jake Mangum (3-for-4, 3 runs) keep the offense rolling. Even when Marlins’ position player Javier Sanoja took the mound in the 9th, the Pirates kept swinging. The win snaps a three-game skid and sets up a big showdown against Boston next.
