## Resource

Alex Stumpf breaks down a brutal weekend for the Pirates after getting swept by the Phillies, blowing a 6-0 lead, getting shut out twice, and watching Paul Skenes turn in one of his roughest starts of the year. He also looks at the impact of Ryan O’Hearn landing on the IL, what the next roster move could be after Nick Yorke was optioned, and why the upcoming Cardinals series suddenly feels like a massive test.
