The Pittsburgh Pirates said “we never go out of style” on Tuesday night, cruising past the Cardinals 8–3 with a win that felt like it was straight out of a Cruel Summer. From the very first inning, the Bucs made sure St. Louis knew “you belong with me” at the bottom of the scoreboard. Six straight batters reached base, five runs crossed before an out was recorded, and Bryan Reynolds doubled twice like he was out of the woods.
Mitch Keller bounced back in a big way, striking out nine across six innings and proving he’s still the team’s champagne problems-free ace when he attacks the strike zone. Henry Davis provided some spark with a long home run after an 11-pitch battle, and Jared Triolo continued his red-hot run, making fans wonder if this stretch is just the 1 or if he’s here to stay.
All told, it was a night where Pirates fans could simply shake it off and enjoy beating up on the rival Cardinals. Don’t miss the full breakdown, analysis, and Swift-inspired banter on the latest North Shore Nine Postgame Show—watch or listen now.
