The Pirates delivered an electric 9–7 win over the Dodgers at PNC Park, and our latest NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. broke down every twist. From jumping on Clayton Kershaw early with four first-inning runs to weathering the Dodgers’ comebacks, the night was full of drama. Jared Triolo starred once again with two doubles and steady defense, fueling talk of his future role. Tommy Pham chipped in key at-bats, while the Pirates showed rare patience at the plate, working eight walks and stringing together runs without relying on the long ball.
On the mound, Carmen Mlodzinski battled through two uneven innings before Bubba Chandler took over, flashing his stuff but also learning some hard lessons against one of baseball’s toughest lineups. The bullpen kept things tight despite a controversial missed foul-tip call, and Dennis Santana closed it out with his usual flair for late-inning drama.
It was an entertaining, gritty win that highlighted the Pirates’ resilience and raised more questions about the team’s young core.
Watch or listen to the full show now to catch all the analysis, debate, and postgame banter from the crew.
