Braxton Ashcraft delivered the quality start the Pittsburgh Pirates desperately needed, helping them finally secure another series win. Now the rest of the rotation must follow his lead.
Alex Stumpf explains why the Pirates cannot rely on their offense or struggling bullpen to carry them through the most difficult stretch of their schedule. Paul Skenes has not been as dominant, Mitch Keller continues to search for his sinker, Jared Jones is still working back into form and Bubba Chandler is trying to turn a corner with his command.
With Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin sidelined, the Pirates need Skenes, Keller, Chandler and Jones to become the homegrown rotation everyone expected. Alex also discusses Bryan Reynolds’ All-Star case, Braxton Ashcraft’s workload and why Carmen Mlodzinski should be separated from the Jared Jones piggyback role.
Presented by FanDuel.
