• Final: Senger grounds into the 4-6-3 double play to end it. Pirates, 9-1.
• Mauricio walks.
• Baty hits a grounder to Hayes who is shifted in the hole at shorstop but a wild throw (E5) draws Triolo off the bag and Baty gets under the tag to reach safely.
• Vientos hits a flare out to shallow center that Gonzales tracks down.
• Chase Shugart will pitch the ninth.
• End of eighth: Gonzales lines out to center, Bart ground out to third, and Hayes strikes out.
• McNeil strikes out on 97 mph fastball.
• Alonso slices one out to Reynolds for second out.
• Tyrone Taylor batting for Soto, he replaced him defensively in the bottom of the seventh, pops up to Gonzales.
• Cabrera hits Nimmo's hand, he'll stay in the game.
• Canario's error in the top of the seventh was changed to a double for Baty.
• End of seventh: Reynolds grounds out to first.
• Cutch singles in the hole to left.
• RUN: Triolo grounds out to the pitcher, Canario with a ground rule double over left field wall, IKF ground out moves Canario to third, and Pham drives him in with single to left. Pirates, 9-1.
• End of third inning: Triolo chases a changeup way out of the zone and Canario gets a hold of one, but flies out to left.
• With no one holding him on, Hayes is getting a huge lead at third. Could be a good opportunity to get a big jump here.
• Hayes draws a walk now and that puts two runners on for Triolo, who already has an RBI single tonight.
• Bart gets fooled by a slider that breaks in on him. That's Peterson's first strikeout tonight.
• Gonzales works a five-pitch walk. Peterson all of a sudden at 48 pitches.
• That's a nice 1-2-3 inning by Keller in response to the four-run outburst by the offense. Haven't seen that a ton this year.
• Keller sets down Senger on four pitches with a fly out to right field and then strikes out Lindor on five. He's settling back into a rhythm and is at 50 pitches.
• End of second inning: Cutch now finds a hole on the left side. That's five hits in this inning. However, Reynolds lines out to center and that brings it to an end.
• It's no secret that the Pirates produce when they have innings like this where they string hits together and "pass the baton." It just hasn't happened a ton this year. A four-spot in the second inning is nice, though. Let's see if they add on.
• RUNS: IKF now comes through with a single into left and Pham adds on with a ground out. Triolo and Canario score. Pirates, 4-0
• RUN: The Pirates get another. Canario squares up a 1-2 fastball on the outer edge of the plate and doubles over Soto's head in right. Pirates, 2-0
Juan Soto turns a Alexander Canario sacfly into a RBI double!! 2-0, Pirates (but wait, there's still more)
• RUN: Triolo singles into left field and drives home Bart. Hayes moves to third. He took advantage of a changeup right down the middle. Pirates, 1-0
• Hayes connects on a sinker and pokes it through the right side. Bart moves to third. Hayes went with the pitch there. A nice piece of hitting.
• Bart works Peterson and draws a seven-pitch walk.
• Gonzales hits one right at Mauricio at second for a 4-3 groundout. One away.
• Mauricio pops out to first. That one had a lot of height to it, but Triolo handled it easily.
• Baty doubles into the right-center gap. I thought Reynolds had that one but it looked like it bounced out of his glove and hit the wall.
• McNeil flies out to center field and Vientos strikes out swinging on a middle-middle sinker.
• Looks like there’s a fire somewhere downtown
• End of first inning: Reynolds swings at the second pitch he sees and rolls over on one to third.
• Cutch gets a hold of one, but it dies short of the warning track. Two away.
• Pham swings at the second pitch he sees and grounds out to Alonso.
• Keller strikes out Alonso after a 10-pitch at-bat. Alonso fouled off five pitches. Keller is already at 29 pitches. Not an efficient start for him.
• Soto flies out to center. Nimmo takes a few steps off second base but stays put.
• Nimmo gets a good jump there and is easily in at second for a stolen base.
• Nimmo fouls off five straight pitches before flaring a sweeper out into left field for a single.
• Keller starts this one out on a good note as he gets Lindor swinging at a slider on the inside edge.
• First pitch: Pirates vs. Mets, Mitch Keller to Francisco Lindor, PNC Park, 7:01 p.m., 74 degrees, cloudy

• End of sixth inning: Bart grounds out to second base, a faster runner beats that out but he's a catcher.
