North Shore Nine

The North Shore Nine Postgame Show, powered by Primanti’s, broke down the Pirates’ 5-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies—and it was a night full of storylines.

Andrew McCutchen continues to remind everyone why he’s still the face of this franchise, launching a home run that set the tone early. The veteran’s power bat remains a difference-maker, and the crowd fed off the moment. Meanwhile, Jared Triolo quietly had one of the most impressive performances of the night. By the fourth inning, fans were joking about being on “cycle watch” as Triolo racked up hits and showcased his all-around game.

On the pitching side, the bullpen held strong. Colin Holderman tossed a clean inning, keeping Colorado from finding any momentum. It was the kind of outing that Pirates fans have been waiting to see consistently—timely hitting paired with dependable relief work.

The postgame show featured Tyler and Doug reflecting on the odd but refreshing nature of the game. From Triolo flirting with history to Cutch reminding us of the past, it was a contest that blended the Pirates’ future with their franchise icon.

If Pittsburgh can find ways to string together nights like this—where the young talent steps up and the veterans lead by example—this season might just surprise some people.
