## Resource

The Pirates are on a critical mission this weekend, facing the hot-hitting Nationals in a three-game series that could swing their wild card hopes. With a 43-44 record and three games behind, they need pitching magic from Mitch Keller, Braxton Ashcraft, and Bubba Chandler—each showing flashes of brilliance but also inconsistency. Washington’s offense is elite, so these starters must deliver quality starts if Pittsburgh wants to claw back into the race before the trade deadline.
