Episode Details

Oneil Cruz provided the only offense the Pirates needed.

Cruz launched a ninth-inning home run off Mason Miller to break a scoreless tie and lift Pittsburgh to a 1-0 win over the Padres. Even better, Cruz apparently told Hannah Mears before the at-bat, “Pay attention. I’m about to hit a home run.”

DiNardo and Neil break down the incredible Cruz homer, an encouraging outing from Paul Skenes, another dominant night from the Pirates bullpen, and Pittsburgh taking the first two games of the series in San Diego.

Skenes tossed six scoreless innings with three hits, zero walks and four strikeouts, while Camilo Doval, Dennis Santana and Mason Montgomery finished the shutout.
