The NS9 Postgame Show broke down a dramatic 5-4 Pirates win over the Yankees, capped off by a walk-off single from Tommy Pham. The star of the day was Andrew Heaney, who struck out 10 over seven dominant innings, proving why the Pirates trusted him as a key offseason addition. He mixed pitches effectively and kept the Yankees off balance all game.

Despite a solid 4-1 lead, the bullpen struggled late, with Ryan Borucki allowing New York to tie it up. Still, strong efforts from Joey Wentz, Caleb Ferguson, and Chase Shugart helped keep the game even through extras.

On offense, Ke’Bryan Hayes looked sharp again at the plate and in the field, while Oneil Cruz continued to show progress with his approach. Jack Suwinski had a key stolen base in the 11th that helped set up the win, even as his bat remains quiet.

With the win, the Pirates improve to 3-7 and head into a division matchup with the Cardinals hoping to build some momentum.
