Pirates Finally Give Their Pitchers Support
from North Shore Nine: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast · host North Shore Nine
The Pirates finally gave their pitching staff some support. After scoring just three runs over the first two games of the series, Pittsburgh broke through for eight runs and 13 hits in an 8-6 win over the Rockies to avoid a sweep in Colorado. Nick Gonzales got the offense rolling with a two-run homer, Bryan Reynolds continued his outstanding June with a three-run blast, and contributions came throughout the lineup from Jake Mangum, Jared Triolo, Tyler Callihan, and Spencer Horwitz. Jared Jones exited after three innings when a comebacker struck his elbow, but the bullpen initially answered the call. Yohan Ramirez and Evan Sisk combined for four scoreless innings before Dennis Santana and Gregory Soto made things much more interesting late. What looked like an easy win quickly became a nail-biter before the Pirates finally closed it out. Tyler and Doug break down the offensive breakout, Reynolds' big day, Jones' injury scare, the strong performances from Ramirez and Sisk, and another bullpen adventure that nearly turned a comfortable win into disaster.

What this episode covers
The Pirates avoided a sweep in Colorado with an 8-6 win over the Rockies, but even a seven-run lead was not enough to make it comfortable. Tyler and Doug break down the offensive breakout led by Bryan Reynolds, Nick Gonzales, Jake Mangum, and Spencer Horwitz, plus the injury scare for Jared Jones after he was hit by a comebacker. They also discuss the much-needed work from Yohan Ramirez and Evan Sisk, the late bullpen struggles from Dennis Santana and Gregory Soto, and why this team still finds a way to make every game more stressful than it needs to be.
