Pirates' Bullpen Woes Threaten Playoff Hopes
Description
The Pittsburgh Pirates are surging, with a 22-19 record and a strong offense averaging 5.02 runs per game. Their pitching staff boasts a 3.73 ERA, but the bullpen is a weak spot, ranking 17th with a 4.14 ERA and blowing ten out of seventeen save chances. The left-handed relievers are excelling, while the right-handers are struggling. The teams fielding is also middling at 21st. The bullpens struggles were on display in a heartbreaking 12-inning loss to the Giants, where they blew two-run leads twice. The Pirates need to address this issue to make a deep playoff run.
