Young core has Pirates believing they're ready for next step (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DETROIT -- Mason Montgomery delivered a 99 mph fastball at the bottom of the zone for strike three on Sunday, clinching a 4-2 victory over the Tigers at Comerica Park and the first winning season for the Pirates since 2018. Pittsburgh made an 11-win improvement from just a season ago, finishing two spots out of the final NL Wild Card spot after hanging in the fight until mid-September. A 15-9 record in September pushed the Pirates over .500 for good and set the stage for a promising future. “Ste
Cruz's latest mammoth blast puts him in elite Pirates company (opens the original)

PITTSBURGH -- Oneil Cruz heard the two other names on the elite list he just joined and smiled, pausing for 10 seconds before speaking his mind. Barry Bonds and Andrew McCutchen are as good as it gets for Pirates royalty. On Sunday against the Royals, Cruz joined them to become just the third player in franchise history to have 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in three straight seasons. His solo shot off Michael Wacha in the fourth brought his home run total to 20, despite missing over two month

Read excerpt
PITTSBURGH -- Konnor Griffin swiped his left hand across home plate, then pumped his right fist while shouting with excitement. The 20-year-old Pirates shortstop returned from the 60-day injured list on Friday and instantly showed off his patented elite speed. In the bottom of the second inning, Jake Mangum ripped a double down the right-field line. Griffin raced around from first to home in 10.14 seconds at a sprint speed of 29.1 feet per second, and dove headfirst past the tag, despite the thr
Starting on 7 days' rest, Skenes (4 walks) still searching for command (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PITTSBURGH -- The negative noise around the Pirates’ ace had never been louder. Former No. 1 pick Paul Skenes hasn’t replicated the historic success of his first two Major League seasons. After a 65-pitch outing in Miami, Pittsburgh opted to give Skenes seven days before his next start, pushing him from Sunday against the Red Sox to Wednesday versus the Tigers at PNC Park. With the extra rest, Skenes allowed three earned runs on four hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings while throwing 81 pitches
