The Pirates entered Wednesday with one of baseball’s worst offenses against left-handed starters. After Eduardo Rodriguez delivered eight scoreless innings, that weakness has become impossible to ignore.
Alex Stumpf examines Pittsburgh’s fifth consecutive loss against a left-handed starter, the missed opportunity to strengthen its Wild Card position and why the lineup cannot depend on another trade to solve this problem. He also discusses Marcell Ozuna’s continued struggles, the importance of getting Oneil Cruz back and why the Pirates still need to prioritize bullpen help at the trade deadline.
Presented by FanDuel.
