Pirates’ Wild September Surge | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pittsburgh Pirates are on a wild September run, winning seven of their last eight series and sweeping their division’s top team—something they haven’t done since 2018. Though they’ve dipped slightly lately, they’re finally above .500 this late in the season and still clinging to slim playoff hopes. Offense is exploding led by Oneil Cruz’s injury-recovered power surge, alongside solid contributions from Brandon Lowe, Nick Gonzales, and Bryan Reynolds. The pitching staff has also turned things around, with Mason Montgomery locking down saves and Jared Jones rebounding after a rough July. Paul Skenes is flashing his old brilliance too. But it’s not enough—they’re still a few games behind the wild card spot and need the Padres and Diamondbacks to falter while they win nearly every remaining game. It’s an uphill climb, but the Pirates are playing with heart and giving fans something to rally behind—even if they fall short, they’re ending the year on a high note.
