A ten-inning loss to the Philadelphia Phillies highlighted this issue, as the bullpen surrendered seven runs in just over three innings. Gregory Soto and Dennis Santana, typically reliable, had off outings, allowing the Phillies to tie and win the game. Manager Don Kelly and General Manager Ben Cherington acknowledge the problem, with Cherington hoping for internal improvement and keeping an eye on external options. The Pirates success hinges on their bullpen finding form, as they rely on their offense and starting pitching to stay competitive.
