The latest NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros., recaps a star-studded night in L.A. as Paul Skenes put on a clinic against the Dodgers. Ryan and Doug dive into every angle of the Pirates’ 3-0 shutout win, headlined by Skenes’ 9-strikeout gem in front of a stunned Dodger Stadium crowd. The guys praise Skenes’ composure, his growing efficiency, and marvel at his dominance against an MVP-loaded lineup.
They also break down Derek Shelton’s surprising decision to send Skenes back out for the 7th — and question the Bednar/Santana bullpen deployment that, somehow, worked out. Offensively, the Pirates scratched across just enough thanks to Oneil Cruz, Enmanuel Valdez, and Ke’Bryan Hayes, showing signs of life against top-tier arms like Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
This was the Pirates’ blueprint: elite pitching, competent offense, and no disasters.
