Here are all of the notes and history benchmarks with respect to the Pirates 6-0 homestand... >> Swept consecutive home series (Friday-Sunday vs. New York-NL and Monday-Wednesday vs. St. Louis) for the first time since sweeping three straight series here at PNC Park in 2018…
Paul Skenes owns a 13-0 record when the Pirates give him 3+ runs of support.
I’ll second this. Adam Frazier is the best. Shame he wasn’t up soon enough, as he would’ve been a perfect fit on the 13-15 teams. Heck, I’d run it back with him in ‘26. Definition of a pro that makes his clubhouses better.
As Adam Frazier departs the Pirates for a second time, I'll always appreciate a small gesture of his during the lowest point of my career, as I describe in this column for @pghbaseballnow pittsburghbaseballnow.com/perrotto-i-owe… #Pirates #LetsGoBucs #MLB
National League manager Dave Roberts announced that Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes will start Tuesday night's All-Star Game at Atlanta's Truist Park. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, Skenes will become the first pitcher and one of five Major League players ever to start in the All-Star…
Jac Caglianone breaks out of a 3-for-52 AB (.058) with no RBI in his last 15 games with a homer to right-centerfield to give the Royals a 1-0 lead.
Nothing to do with it. Last I checked, Phillies and Red Sox fans (and media) can get awfully nasty.
I’m sure it also factors in his doesn’t like big market attention
Without question, this is the sole reason. If he’s to have his contract’s value sliced in half, he at least wants a say, or the ability to crunch numbers. I’ll also offer: this is very much standard industry practice. Any limited no trade clauses (which are largely…
Hate taxes? So does Bryan Reynolds. That might explain the destinations on his no-trade list.
The Pirates today ended the rehab assignment of RHP Colin Holderman, reinstated him from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

The @Pirates have outscored opponents 43-4 over their last six games. That's the most runs scored over a six-game span while allowing fewer than five runs in MLB history. The previous most while allowing so few was by the Cincinnati Outlaw Reds in 1884 (42). (h/t/ @OptaSTATS)
Per @joe_block, the Pirates have shut out an opponent for all three games in a series for just the third time in franchise history. The last time it occurred? October 1976...against the Cardinals.
The Pirates have tossed 31 consecutive scoreless innings. fourth most in the expansion era, and the most since June 2015 (35 innings)
The Pirates have swept a six-game homestand for the first time since July 2004.
The last time the Pirates shut out the Cardinals in back-to-back games was 2012.
The Pirates are 25-24 under Don Kelly. The Pirates with their fifth straight win. Bucco pitchers have given up just four runs during the five-game streak. The best five-game stretch by Pirates pitchers since their 98-win season of 2015.
