## Resource

Pirates roar back to sweep Mariners, outscoring them 18-2 in final two games, with Ashcraft and Chandler delivering stellar pitching and a big offensive surge. The win puts Pittsburgh at 41-40 — their first over .500 at the season midpoint since 2015 — and keeps them alive in the wild card race despite injuries and bullpen hiccups. Manager Don Kelly, who earned his 100th career win in the clincher, admits they need to tighten up, but the bullpen’s smart usage and clutch performances kept them in control. And while a local kid, Cole Young, hit the game-winner in Game 1, Pirates fans know all too well how hometown heroes can turn the tables — especially at PNC Park.
