The Pirates completed a dramatic extra-inning sweep of the Giants, and Neil and Doug were back on the mics to break it all down. On this episode of the NS9 Postgame Show, the guys spotlight Isaac Mattson’s heroic two-inning save and Mike Burrows’ impressive start as the two right-handers carried the Bucs to their fifth straight win. While the offense struggled mightily — going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position — the Pirates did just enough to escape San Francisco with a win, thanks in part to some help from the Giants’ defense.
They also dive into what David Bednar’s absence might signal with the trade deadline looming, give early thoughts on the Caleb Ferguson trade, and share more frustration over Jack Suwinski’s continued struggles. It’s another gritty win in a season that’s anything but predictable.
