The Pirates looked poised to take game one against the Phillies, but a catastrophic seventh inning derailed everything in this frustrating 8–4 loss. On the latest NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, DiNardo and Jim break it all down—from Andrew Heaney’s impressive start to Alexander Canario’s continued breakout. But it all unraveled thanks to a disastrous combination of Colin Holderman, Ryan Borucki, Tommy Pham, Tanner Rainey, and questionable decisions from Don Kelly.
They also discuss Oneil Cruz’s surprise pinch-hit appearance, Matt Gorski robbing a homer in center, and Nick Solak’s long-awaited call-up. Is Canario the real deal? Did Kelly cost them the game? And what does this say about the state of the Pirates bullpen?
