Summary

The Pirates finished off a sweep of the Reds with a 1-0 win built on a career-best start from Braxton Ashcraft, a massive Gregory Soto relief appearance, and a late Oneil Cruz RBI single. Tyler and Jim break down Ashcraft’s rise, the pitching duel with Chase Burns, Konnor Griffin’s impact, and why this weekend was exactly the reset Pittsburgh needed after the Cardinals series.
