Tough week to look at. Dropping one by 3 last night stings. And getting outscored by 12 in a week. That tanks the score.

Pirates News
Spencer Horwitz's return from the injured list has hit another snag, as the first baseman suffered a setback after being hit in the head during a rehab assignment, further complicating the Pirates' roster situation. The team is already feeling the effects of injuries, with top prospect Seth Hernandez likely out for the season due to a left oblique strain, limiting their pitching depth just as the trade deadline approaches. Today, Jared Jones takes the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks, sporting a solid 3.72 ERA, but the Bucs have struggled recently, going 3-4 with a -11 run differential over the last week. The urgency to bolster the pitching staff is palpable, as veteran Brandon Lowe noted the growing importance of every game amid Wild Card races tightening, leaving fans anxious to see if management can pull off a significant trade before the deadline.
