The Pirates’ Pitching Staff Is Finally Coming Together

The Pirates somehow took two of three from the Angels despite scoring just three runs all weekend, because their pitching staff absolutely carried them.

DiNardo and Tyler break down Jared Jones' dominant new-look breaking ball, how the Pirates should handle Braxton Ashcraft's unprecedented workload, Paul Skenes showing improved command but still struggling to finish hitters with two strikes, and Mason Montgomery's incredible emergence at the back end of the bullpen.

They also discuss Carmen Mlodzinski finally settling into a true bullpen role, Luke Weaver's bizarre poison ivy situation, and whether the bullpen has quietly become one of the biggest strengths on this roster.

Plus, a preview of the upcoming six-game road trip through Chicago against the White Sox and Cubs.
