Mitch Keller Implodes as Pirates Drop 5th in 6 Games

North Shore Nine — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 21:38:00 GMT

The Pirates closed a disastrous series in Cincinnati with a 9-1 loss, dropping three of four to the Reds and five of their last six games overall.

Mitch Keller lasted just two innings and allowed seven earned runs, while the Pirates recorded only four hits and struck out 13 times against Chase Burns and the Cincinnati bullpen. Camilo Doval also surrendered a home run during his Pirates debut.

With Pittsburgh falling below .500 and losing ground in the Wild Card race, the pressure is now on Ben Cherington to significantly improve this roster before Monday’s 6 PM ET MLB Trade Deadline.

North Shore Nine will be live Monday at 5:30 PM ET to cover the final moves before the deadline.

Pirates Get the Response They Needed in Cincinnati

North Shore Nine — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 03:43:00 GMT

The Pittsburgh Pirates finally got the response they desperately needed, snapping their four-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Braxton Ashcraft set the tone with five strong innings before a lengthy rain delay ended his night. Carmen Mlodzinski took over and delivered three scoreless innings, allowing Yohan Ramirez to close out the victory and move the Pirates back to .500.

Tyler and Jim discuss Ashcraft’s bounce-back performance, another dominant relief appearance from Mlodzinski, the offense’s continued problems against left-handed pitching and what the addition of Camilo Doval means for the bullpen ahead of the trade deadline.

Nick Gonzales’ Blunder Sinks Pirates in Pathetic Loss to Reds

North Shore Nine — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 01:59:00 GMT

The Pirates scored seven runs and still found a way to lose.

DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down a pathetic 8-7 loss in Cincinnati after Paul Skenes allowed five runs in four innings, the bullpen blew another late lead and Nick Gonzales made a costly decision at third base during the Reds’ eighth-inning rally.

They also discuss Ryan O’Hearn’s injury, Antwone Kelly’s three scoreless innings, strong performances from Jake Mangum and Brandon Lowe and what a four-game losing streak means with the trade deadline approaching.

PIRATES POSTCAST: Paul Skenes STRUGGLES and a Defensive DISASTER Leads to Loss

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 01:50:05 GMT

Nathan and Ryan break down game two of the series between the Pirates and Reds in another loss. Paul Skenes did not look like his CY Young self-tonight in a no decision effort on the mound. The offense tried to comeback but the bullpen had their 20th blown save. Ryan O'Hearn gets injured in the 9th and it does not look good.

Will the Pittsburgh Pirates Finally Get SERIOUS About Winning and Address Needs?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 19:40:14 GMT

Pittsburgh Pirates enter the MLB trade deadline as buyers for the first time in years, with playoff hopes driving a bold new approach. Can a deal for Luke Weaver or Robbie Ray transform the pitching staff, or will prospect cost force Ben Cherrington’s hand? Gary Morgan weighs the pros and cons of parting with rising talents like Sammy Stafura and Murph Gray as the Pirates target crucial bullpen reinforcements.

Key discussions center on Nick Gonzales' defensive struggles versus his offensive necessity, the outlook on Oneil Cruz’s role, and how adding proven arms like Jeff Hoffman could reshape late-inning matchups. Gary Morgan predicts landing spots for major trade chips—think Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers, Luis Arraez to the Rays, and the ripple effects across the league. With the NL Wild Card race tightening and the CBA looming, every move could tip the balance for October.

The Pirates MUST Fix Their Bullpen Before the Trade Deadline

North Shore Nine — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The Pirates’ bullpen suffered its 23rd loss of the season Thursday night, leaving the team with more bullpen losses than saves. Alex Stumpf explains why the problem goes beyond one Gregory Soto blown save and why Pittsburgh desperately needs an established late-inning reliever before Monday’s trade deadline.

Could Kansas City left-hander Daniel Lynch IV be an option? Alex discusses the recent scouting connection between the Pirates and Royals, additional relievers Pittsburgh could target and why this season presents an opportunity Ben Cherington cannot afford to waste.
