2026/08/26

Esmerlyn Valdez shattered his 24-game homerless drought with a thunderous 413-foot blast off a 90-mph fastball, igniting the Pirates’ offense after 22 scoreless innings and reigniting hope for his breakout potential. Though his early MLB surge was dazzling, pitchers adapted, turning him into a strikeout-prone hitter — but not a failure. With 15 homers in just over 200 at-bats this season, Valdez still flashes elite power and maintains a solid on-base rate despite his recent slump. The Pirates

While his ERA has slipped and he’s allowed four+ runs more times this season than in his first 55 starts combined, this win and velocity boost offer hope for Pittsburgh’s playoff push.

Paul Skenes dominated with six scoreless innings, returning to his old self and shutting down the Padres’ offense for the first time since May.

Balk Blows Up Ashcraft's Game | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pittsburgh Pirates News Today | 2 Min News | The... ·

2026/08/26

Pirates pitcher Braxton Ashcraft’s game nearly derailed by a baffling balk call that scored a run for the Padres and spiked his pitch count—thanks to a rule requiring pitchers to declare their motion when runners are on third, which Ashcraft didn’t do for the second batter. Frustrated and calling it “the dumbest rule in baseball,” he still delivered a solid six-inning outing, but the balk cost him a chance to finish strong. The call sparked debate among fans, broadcasters, and manager Don

Braxton Ashcraft thought he’d locked down the Padres with six scoreless innings—until a balk call erased his final out, gifted the Padres a run, and left him fuming over what he called “stupid” rule. The umpire called it because Ashcraft failed to announce his switch from set to windup after runners advanced—a technicality that’s been catching pitchers off guard this season, like Chris Sale’s similar fate earlier in August. Despite the controversy and fan outrage, the Pirates still pulled off a

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ playoff hopes dimmed as ace Paul Skenes hit a rough patch this season, sparking debate over whether to shut him down. But insider John Perrotto argues resting him won’t fix anything — Skenes pitched through two non-contender seasons before, and he needs to push through now. Perrotto also hints Skenes may have gained too much weight, contributing to his recent slump, despite his once-stellar start and current 9-11 record with a 3.95 ERA. Listen in comfort:Get a

Pirates’ rookie outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez is making waves, cracking the top ten for NL Rookie of the Year despite a tough season for the team. His AXE score—measuring overall production—is just above average, trailing frontrunner JJ Wetherholt of the Cardinals. Valdez’s stats show promise with solid batting, home runs, and RBIs in 61 games, though high strikeouts and limited at-bats keep him from contending for the crown.

San Diego’s wild-card hopes hang in the balance after a heartbreaker: a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh in 12 innings. A pitchers’ duel turned tense when the Pirates broke through with two runs in the sixth, but the Padres answered with a balk and a clutch eighth-inning single to tie it.

A pitcher’s nightmare: Braxton Ashcraft thought he’d escaped a jam, only to see a balk call gift the Padres a run — and his team’s lead evaporate. Confused and frustrated, Ashcraft called it “the dumbest rule in baseball,” arguing that the umpire misread his windup declaration. His manager backed him up, saying there was confusion over who was supposed to declare the pitch. It’s not the first time Ashcraft’s clashed with this crew of umpires, and he’s hoping MLB revisits the rule — because in
