Pirates Rally Late to Beat Nationals | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates pulled off a wild 11-5 win over the Nationals, overcoming a shaky start by Bubba Chandler thanks to a dominant bullpen and a late-game explosion. They jumped out to a 4-run lead, but the Nationals tied it up in the fifth. The turning point? Konnor Griffin’s clutch two-run single in the 8th, followed by Brandon Lowe’s homer that sealed the deal. Griffin was lights out — 2-for-4, 2 RBI, a walk, and jaw-dropping outfield catches — and became the fastest Pirate in modern history to reach 20 stolen bases (in just 59 games). Now, after a day off, they head home to face the Braves with Paul Skenes on the mound — and no starter announced yet.
