Final from PNC Park: Pirates beat the Brewers 3-2 and sweep the doubleheader.

Esmerlyn Valdez homered three times on the day.

Pittsburgh's bullpen produced four scoreless to close the second win.

The Pirates are 49-47, and have a chance at the sweep with Paul Skenes tomorrow.

Tonight's game has been postponed. There will be a doubleheader tomorrow starting at noon.

Two games and the draft. A big day for the Pirates coming up.

Important notes from Jonathan here. Looks like the Pirates will be without Konnor Griffin through a pivotal stretch that will define their season.

An important start for Paul Skenes tonight as he tries to stop a winless streak stretching almost two months. His drought is tied for the 2nd longest by a reigning Cy Young Award winner, just one behind Blake Snell and Jim Perry for the record:

In this Pirates newsletter...had the chance to talk 1-on-1 with top prospect Seth Hernandez.

“A goal that I always think about is making the big leagues while I'm still 20 years old. So if I could make it before June 28 of next year, that would be pretty awesome.”

Marcell Ozuna has taken on a different role with the Pirates while trying to refind his swing.

Steve Vernamonti made his belief in his grandson known on a yellow raffle ticket 13 years before Jake Mangum made the Majors.

Mangum is living out his dreams with the Pirates. He's also helping his grandfather through Parkinson's.

“He’s my motivator."

Rafael Flores Jr. made his presence felt Thursday night. His first career home run went 440 feet to dead center.

“If I can make a quick spark and spark up the whole offense -- that's how you win ballgames," Flores Jr.

Paul Skenes was driving by a Little League field and decided to stop by 🥹

He played catch and talked with the kids for over two hours the night before he pitches against the Dodgers at PNC Park 👏

Paul Skenes was driving down Perry Highway in Wexford just past seven o’clock Monday night when the Pirates superstar pitcher made a pit stop. It was a Little League field.

Skenes signed autographs for over two hours, connecting with Pittsburgh's next generation.

When the Pirates acquired Brandon Lowe, they knew he'd become a veteran among their young core. But in his first year in Pittsburgh, Lowe has already exceeded expectations.

On the Pirates second baseman, who leads the team with 15 homers and is on pace for 100 RBI.

At least nine runs in the last four games for the Pirates. That hasn’t happened since 1928.

Wrote here a few days ago in our https://t.co/ypZX0ektB6 all-30 how important it was for Davis to heat up in June. Production from the catcher position would make an already good offense great.
