Pirates Struggle as Cardinals Streak On | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates’ scoring drought deepens as they face Cardinals in Game 2 of the series, chasing a turnaround after two straight losses by exactly three runs. Quinn Mathews dazzled in yesterday’s win, striking out seven while allowing just one earned run — a rebound from his shaky outing against the Phillies. Meanwhile, the Pirates’ road woes continue: ten losses in their last thirteen away games. The Cardinals, riding a two-game win streak, sit at .500 and look to extend momentum with Kyle Leahy on the mound — who’s been heating up at home this season. With Lake Bachar taking the hill for Pittsburgh, both teams are primed for a pivotal showdown that could shift the season’s trajectory.
