Skenes Breaks Streak, O'Hearn Shatters Records | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Paul Skenes finally broke his winless streak with a solid outing against the Braves, his first victory since May 12th, while Ryan O’Hearn went absolutely bonkers—smashing three homers and driving in a record-tying 10 runs. Skenes joked O’Hearn’s power was “selfish” for stopping rallies, but even with a slight dip in velocity and command, he still kept Atlanta to just two runs over six innings. Humble as ever, Skenes admits he’s not fully back to his best yet, but his resilience and competitive fire keep him a nightmare for hitters—even when the pressure’s on.

Pirates' Catching Crisis Deepens | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates face a catching crisis as Endy Rodríguez inches toward the injured list, forcing Henry Davis and Rafael Flores Jr. into the spotlight. With rookie sensation Konnor Griffin sidelined for weeks, the team’s offensive depth takes a hit, especially as Rodríguez’s bat and Davis’s defensive prowess become crucial. Davis, a top draft pick with elite pitch-blocking skills, steps up, while Flores Jr., a trade acquisition with mixed Triple-A results, gets a bigger role. Losing both key young hitters could derail their playoff push — but can Davis and Flores Jr. carry the load? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Griffin Out Pirates Adjust Lineup | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin’s eight-to-ten week injury absence forces a lineup shakeup, with Jared Triolo stepping back in at shortstop and Jake Mangum thriving in center field and the leadoff spot. With key players sidelined, Mangum’s clutch hitting becomes vital as the Pirates face the Braves, featuring rookie Tyler Callihan at second, Brandon Lowe as DH, and Paul Skenes on the mound — all hoping to spark a late-season surge.

O'Hearn Shatters Records with Triple Homer Game | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Ryan O’Hearn just rewrote Pirates history with a jaw-dropping three-home-run, ten-RBI game against the Braves, becoming one of just 11 MLB players ever to hit three homers and drive in ten runs in a single game — and he did it all while staying humble, calling it “just seeing the ball well.” His record-breaking blast lifted the Pirates to a 12-4 win and gave fans a reason to cheer loud after a rough week with rookie Griffin going on the IL. O’Hearn’s historic night proves that even in tough times, brilliance can strike — and this one will be remembered for years.
