Latest news and updates about the Pirates
It’s time for a power rankings update. The Pittsburgh Pirates are sitting at 16-13. They’ve been a couple games over .500 for a while now, but haven’t been able to quite push it further. In addition, the hot start at the plate has cooled some, with the Bucs OPS falling significantly over the past week. […]
Spoiler alert: There weren’t going to be many highlights to share from tonight’s St. Louis Cardinals game in Pittsburgh as the Pirates bullpen nearly no-hit the birds. However, the St. Louis Cardinals broke the heart of the Bucks thanks in part to a loud homecoming from JJ Wetherholt and a rally for the ages. The […]

Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week This is an easy one. Harrison’s start on Sunday versus the Pirates was probably the Brewers’ best of the season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates rookie superstar, Konnor Griffin, made meaningful strides in the team’s series against Milwaukee as he continues to find his footing in the Major Leagues. Griffin has played in just 22 Major League games, but has been one of the most talked about players since his promotion. His debut of course made waves, […]
Box Score Kyle Harrison turned in a brilliant performance, and the Brewers capitalized on a five-run fourth inning to snap their four-game losing streak and avoid a sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The win puts Milwaukee back over .500 ahead of a Tuesday matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Neither team scored until the […]

Box Score Three times in this baseball game, the Brewers — a team that hasn’t homered in almost a week — nearly hit a baseball out of the park to right field. But none of those balls made it over the wall, and while Milwaukee sparred with the Pirates and answered their runs throughout the […]

Well, things didn’t go very well for the Brewers yesterday against Paul Skenes. The reigning NL Cy Young struck out seven Brewers, didn’t walk any, and allowed just one single in seven dominant innings of work. Milwaukee couldn’t muster a hit against either of Skenes’ relievers, either, and they were shut out, 6-0, and managed […]
The Milwaukee Brewers return home to American Family Field to begin a six-game homestand against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks. The first matchup of this homestand is a doozy. It’s a battle of the aces on the mound tonight with the wily veteran Brandon Woodruff pitching for the Crew, while the Pirates will have […]
One of the strengths for the Pittsburgh Pirates to start the season has been their starting rotation, and right-handed pitcher Braxton Ashcraft is a big reason because of that. In his most recent start for the Pirates, he threw seven innings and 94 pitches, both career-highs, while only allowing two earned runs against the Texas […]

Rangers 6, Pirates 1
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers bounced back nicely on their road trip against the Marlins and Tigers, and they’re now back in Milwaukee to host Paul Skenes and the Pirates this weekend. In some scary news, team No. 2 prospect and MLB No. 21 prospect Luis Peña reportedly collapsed in the dugout late […]
In an attempt to remake a starting rotation expected to lose a two-time All-Star, the Astros traded two prospects from a barren farm system to acquire Mike Burrows from the Pittsburgh Pirates last December. An 11th round pick by the Pirates in 2018, Burrows finally made his Major League debut in 2024 and put himself on […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run. That’s more like it. After a few annoying losses here and there over the last couple of weeks, the Rangers came out tonight and did pretty much everything right as they finished off a series win over Pittsburgh in the first leg […]
