Pirates Pivot Pitching Against Reds | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates are turning to their bullpen to start a brutal four-game road series against the Reds, with Yohan Ramirez taking the mound July 30th — a bold move as they navigate 17 games in 17 days. Skenes, Ashcraft, and Keller follow in quick succession, each carrying the weight of recent ups and downs, but all with key matchups against a Reds lineup heavy on right-handed bats. Skenes, despite recent struggles, owns a perfect record against Cincinnati; Ashcraft, though cooled off lately, still has a strong history against them; and Keller is heating up post-All-Star break. The Reds counter with a stacked rotation — Lowder, Greene, Abbott, Burns — setting the stage for a high-stakes, high-intensity series that could define the Pirates’ stretch run.
