## Resource

Pirates’ playoff hopes hang in the balance after a heartbreaker against the Reds, where a two-strike fastball turned into a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, sealing a 9-7 loss. With seventeen blown saves in thirty-four chances this season, the team’s late-game woes are mounting, and manager Don Kelly is demanding better execution in clutch moments. Now at 41-42, Pittsburgh looks to Mitch Keller on Sunday to avoid getting swept and keep their postseason dreams alive—every win matters as they fight to close games out effectively.
