Summary
The Pirates’ four-game winning streak ended in a brutal 11-9 loss to the Astros, fueled by a collapse in the 7th and 8th innings. Pitcher Paul Skenes called the defeat unacceptable, frustrated that nine runs shouldn’t be enough to win — but the offense didn’t deliver. Manager Don Kelly echoed the frustration, especially with key relievers faltering, and noted this marks the Pirates’ 12th blown save this season — tied for third-most in MLB. Despite the setback, Pittsburgh remains in third in the NL Central with a 33-29 record and still alive for a Wild Card spot. They’ll look to bounce back in Game 4 against the Astros.
