## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates squandered a six-run lead, losing 11-9 to the Philadelphia Phillies in ten innings. Despite Brandon Lowe and Marcell Ozunas early power surge, the Phillies Kyle Schwarber kept them in the game with two home runs. The Pirates bullpen faltered in the ninth, leading to a defensive error and a blown save by Gregory Soto. The Phillies took the lead in the tenth and won, leaving the Pirates to regroup before their next game against the Phillies on Saturday. The team must now focus on handling pressure and improving bullpen consistency to secure wins in the tight race. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
