Pirates Blow Golden Opportunity in 5-4 Walk-Off Loss to Dodgers

North Shore Nine — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 06:17:00 GMT

The Pirates fought all the way back against the Dodgers, but a golden opportunity in extra innings went completely to waste.

Oneil Cruz continued his ridiculous return with another home run, the bullpen delivered 5.2 excellent innings, and Pittsburgh had runners at the corners with nobody out in the 10th. They still couldn't score, and the Dodgers eventually walked it off, 5-4.

DiNardo and Neil break down the missed opportunities, Bubba Chandler's uneven start, the decision to remove Rafael Flores, Henry Davis' struggles, and another huge night from Cruz.

PIRATES POSTCAST: Pirates RALLY to Force Extras Only to Lose in 10 Innings to Dodgers

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 05:58:52 GMT

The Pirates rallied to force extra innings, but failed to score in the top of the 10th inning and the Dodgers walked it off on the Pirates in a 5-4 loss. The Pirates scored two runs early off of Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but the Dodgers rallied for four runs off Bubba Chandler. Chandler struck out six batters, but allowed four runs in just four innings of work. Meanwhile, Yamamoto struck out nine in 6.1 innings. Oneil Cruz belted a game-tying two-run homer in the 8th inning to help force extras.

Pirates Aren’t Dead Yet, But Their Last Stand Starts NOW

North Shore Nine — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Alex Stumpf came into this homestand ready to declare the 2026 Pittsburgh Pirates dead. Instead, they took two of three from both the Red Sox and Tigers and kept the tiniest bit of hope alive.

Now comes the real test. The Pirates head out for a nine-game road trip against the Dodgers, Padres and Cardinals with essentially no margin for error. Alex looks at what it would take to get back into the Wild Card race, the concerns surrounding Paul Skenes, the return of Oneil Cruz and why this really could be Pittsburgh’s last stand.

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Pittsburgh Pirates face season-defining road trip—can they claw back into the playoff race or is it time to focus on 2027? Gary Morgan spotlights the team’s three-series showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and St. Louis Cardinals, sizing up wild card stakes and where the Pirates stand against direct rivals.

Key topics include first base production, with Ryan O’Hearn and Spencer Horwitz under the microscope, the struggles and future of Esmerlin Valdez, and the importance of improved situational hitting. Gary answers pressing fan questions about coaching accountability, the evolving roles of Jared Triolo and Jacob Gonzalez, and why underdog loyalty keeps the Pittsburgh Pirates’ fanbase hopeful through ups and downs. Can the Bucs ignite momentum, or are bigger shakeups looming for the roster and front office?
