Pirates Stun Twins in Wild 10-9 Thriller

Pirates pull off a wild 10-9 thriller against the Twins, fueled by Jake Mangum’s MVP performance—his first homer, go-ahead single, and a clutch ninth-inning snag. After cruising to a six-run lead, Pittsburgh watched it evaporate as the Twins battled back in a nail-biter. Gregory Soto locked it down for his seventh save, while Yohan Ramirez earned the win. The victory marks a big moment for Pittsburgh, especially with former manager Derek Shelton back in town after losses earlier this week. Twins’ Kody Clemens had a solid day with three hits, and Josh Bell drove in three runs, but it wasn’t enough. Bailey Ober’s three-game win streak ended in disaster, surrendering a season-high eight runs and continuing his homer-prone struggles. And in a bizarre twist, Pirates’ Brandon Lowe got his first-ever ejection after a heated strike call and a flying out. The series finale Sunday sees Zebby Matthews start for the Twins against Braxton Ashcraft for the Pirates. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
