Yelich delivers go-ahead two-run single as Brewers top Pirates 5-4

Milwaukee nips Pittsburgh 5-4 at PNC Park as Christian Yelich belts a go-ahead two-run single in the bottom of the ninth. Pirates had briefly surged ahead 4-3 after Oneil Cruz’s 172nd homer of the season, a franchise single-season record, but a ninth-inning Brewers rally saw Triolo foil an earlier threat at the plate, and Yelich delivered the decisive hit. Pirates starter Jared Jones went five innings (3 earned on 7 hits with 9 strikeouts) while Logan Henderson struggled to finish off Milwaukee early, culminating in Milwaukee’s late comeback for the win.

Cubs Rally in Eighth to Clinch 4-3 Victory Over Pirates at Wrigley

The Cubs erased a 3-2 deficit in the bottom of the eighth at Wrigley Field, sparked by Pedro Ramirez’s leadoff double, two pinch-hit RBI walks, and Nico Hoerner being hit by a pitch to score the go-ahead run, then held on for a 4-3 win over the Pirates behind bullpen help from Ryan Rolison and Ryan Zeferjahn; Chicago had earlier homered twice (Busch in the 1st, Ramirez in the 3rd) while Pirates’ Clay Holmes yielded Ryan O’Hearn’s three-run shot in the sixth.

Pirates edge White Sox 4-2 to win fifth straight series

The Pirates defeated the White Sox 4-2 at Rate Field to extend their streak of consecutive series wins to five. Valdez opened Pittsburgh’s scoring with a fifth-inning homer, then a three-run seventh—driven by Griffin’s two RBIs and Flores’ RBI—pushed the lead to 4-0. Luke Weaver pitched the eighth and the bullpen closed it out after starter Lake Bachar departed early, while Chicago’s Murakami hit a ninth-inning solo shot to make it 4-2.

Pirates September: five storylines as postseason odds fade

With playoff odds still slim, September offers the Pirates a chance to shape next season: a strong finish could influence offseason decisions; how the team handles the workloads of young starters (Ashcraft, Chandler, Jones, Skenes) will matter for 2027; Rafael Flores Jr. may cement the catching role with Endy Rodriguez out and Henry Davis slumping; Camilo Doval's arbitration year makes the bullpen a focal point; and September call-ups (Dotel, Barco, Simon) could alter depth and future projections.

Pirates survive late meltdown, walk off Giants on error

The Pirates ride a 19-hit attack to an 11-5 lead, but the Giants rally with five in the eighth; Pittsburgh wins 13-12 on a ninth-inning walk-off after Giants third baseman Osleivis Basabe cannot handle Rafael Devers' throw, allowing Brandon Lowe to score. Paul Skenes struggled but Mason Montgomery earned the win as Oneil Cruz and Lowe led the offense with four hits each; Pirates notch their fifth walk-off win of the season.

Pirates Rally in Wild 13-12 Victory Over Giants

The Pittsburgh Pirates outslugged the San Francisco Giants 13-12 at PNC Park after a dramatic nine-run third inning erased a three-run deficit, with Oneil Cruz driving in four runs and Brandon Lowe adding his 29th homer. San Francisco battled back to tie 12-12 late on Whitcomb’s two-run single, but the Pirates won on a ninth-inning play sparked by Basabe’s errant throw at third. Paul Skenes struggled through 4.2 innings, while Logan Webb was pulled after recording no outs in the third. Cruz, Gonzales and Reynolds contributed multi-hit nights as Pittsburgh held on in a frantic, back-and-forth game.

Dodgers edge Pirates with 10th-inning walk-off, spoiling road-trip opener

Oneil Cruz tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth, but Tommy Edman delivered a two-out, two-strike RBI single in the 10th to lift the Dodgers to a 5-4 walk-off win over the Pirates in Los Angeles, wasting Pittsburgh’s rally as they started a critical nine-game road trip 0-1. Bubba Chandler struggled early, Dodgers’ offense built a 4-2 lead, then the Pirates bullpen kept them in it as Cruz’s homer forced extras. In the 10th, Reynolds singled, Cruz was intentionally walked, and Henry Davis grounded into a decisive double play with the bases loaded. The Pirates remain four games under .500 as the series continues this weekend.
