## Resource

Braxton Ashcraft just made history again—this time with a no-walk, 10-strikeout masterpiece against the Mariners, joining an elite club with only one other such game this season. He stayed aggressive, dominated with first-pitch strikes, and locked down the final 10 batters after an early run, finishing with just 86 pitches. Manager Don Kelly raved about his poise and pitch efficiency, while Ashcraft’s dominance with runners in scoring position and his smart mix of breaking balls kept hitters off balance. Backed by a huge 5-run inning, he’s now sitting at a stellar 3.07 ERA and tied for 7th in MLB strikeouts—solidifying his role as a top Pirate starter alongside Paul Skenes.
