Dodgers vs. Pirates Game Highlights (9/4/25) | MLB Highlights

One thing we know for sure is that this is a special pitching matchup. And I think a big thing for major league baseball around the league, it’s important to bring back the importance of the starting pitcher. And when you get a match up like this, Blake Snell who has two Cy Young awards, Paul Skes, who’s going to add one this year in all likelihood, that’s something the game has to celebrate there. He is the big guy taking the mound start number 29 on the season for Paul Skeens. Good chance. He’s going to capture his first Cy Young, who knows how many and it should be. There’s ways to go. He’s got a handful of starts remaining this year. So here’s the anticipated match up right out of the gates. Skeins versus Otani swing and a miss struck him out 99 in the zone and on fastballs, he strikes out shoe Otani that can’t sliding play. Devaney Guns it to first. What a play by Cam Devaney. I like the arm, you know, getting over there and catching it is, you know, it’s one thing a couple of steps to his right, but I mean, he was from the edge of the grass on the foul line and the, the strong throw across the diamond about as long a throw as you can have and it was on a line, popped him up. Second base Gonzalez way up there and has a 123 top of the first inning. And now the Pirates will face two time Cy Young award winner Blake Snell Jared Triolo will lead it off for the Pirates here in the home half of the first two times. Cy Young award winner Blake Snell of the Dodgers left hander will start for L A tonight but right in front of home plate and rushing does just that and Triolo beats out the throw. Dalton rushing, had him out but a poor throw results in an error and the Pirates have a base runner. The two Gonzalez watches strike three perfect fastball at the knees at 95 cut the plate in half. So one down on the first strike out of the night for Blake his first walk and without a hit, the Pirates have two on and one out for Tommy Pham to right field pushing hernandez back in front of the warning track. He makes the catch for the second out tagging from second and going to third is Triolo and now runners at the corners with two outs and andrew Mccutchen is coming up. That’s three blew a fastball by him after one at PNC park in Pittsburgh. It’s the Dodgers. Nothing pirates. Nothing. Now for the Dodgers, Michael Conforto lefty batter at 188 with 10 home runs will take strike three and he’s the latest victim of Paul 100 mile per hour. Fastball. Two outs, 22 and a and a miss at the sweeper took a while. But he got, and it’s six up, six down for sens and it’s nothing, nothing. Now it’s Alexander Canario o’neill Cruz has not started against the lefty since August 2nd Canario getting some of those starts against lefties that’s going to drop. And Canario is on with a one out single. It’s inside ball four and he’s walked his second man second straight inning. The Pirates have had two men on , not hit all that hard but maybe well placed and Betts not going to get there in time, not going to get the throw there in time infield hit and the bases are loaded. They could not get a force at second base. Henry davis had a good jump on contact on the slow ground ball and it just didn’t work out for the Dodgers and that will be an infield single for Triolo and now the bases are full bases loaded. Two outs for nick Gonzalez. Freddie Freeman foul ground. Freddie makes the play. He just kept his arm out there and the ball went in his glove and he snares the soft line drive and foul ground off the bat of Gonzalez and the Pirates leave them loaded. We go to the third. It’s the Dodgers nothing Pirates skis now the bottom third of the order on Kim three strikeouts in the first six batters. Did he go? That’s four strikeouts for schemes tonight and 191 on the season as he’s approaching 200 strikeouts for the year. Two outs. Here’s Dalton rushing left handed batter rushing high in the air, right center field, drifting back. Reynolds, he’s at the wall. This ball is off the top of the wall. Rushing is going to hold up at second with a two out double that was in the air a long time and it just missed being a two out solo homer outside ball four and Otani walks first walk issued by skis and the Dodgers now with two on and two out shortstop is there, Triolo that’ll do it. Two left for L A Pirates come to bat in the bottom of the third. No score. Brian reynolds will lead it off and on Saturday, the 1st 20,000 will take home a Brian reynolds bobblehead line drive. That’s a bullet. Reynolds smokes it into center field. Reynolds have been on base both times tonight. Leadoff, single to center leadoff man aboard for Pittsburgh and Tommy fan. The batter right handed hitting left fielder zero for one and boy talking about great dirt ball read, Brian reynolds was ready and that’s anticipation if you’re not anticipating a ball in the dirt you’re not gonna get as good a jump. Ryan Reynolds as soon as he saw that ball hit the dirt, he was off. Oh, and now he gets to third two wild pitches and Reynolds is standing at third base. Now the infield is gonna come up man at third and nobody out and there it is infield in takes advantage one nothing pirates. Tommy Pham delivers one of the wild pitches could have been blocked but was not by rushing. And that results in a pirate run for the third straight game. They score the first run of the ball game in the history. The Pittsburgh, which is well over 100 years. They’ve only had two cy young one and the last one was in 1990. Doug here’s at two swinging struck him out 98 near the top of the zone on his game tonight. He has struck out five Dodgers. That’s another strikeout six for Steens Dodgers down again in Pittsburgh. One nothing Canario, one for one with a blue base hit three pitches, three strikes one out strikeout number four for Blake Snow 02 swing and a miss strike three fastball got him at 95 2 strikeouts in the inning five in the game. Cam Devanney is on two out single to right and they got Devanney between 1st and 2nd Freeman to kim the tag applied inning over and the Dodgers have the tying run aboard in the fifth with two men out Skeens coming home swing and a miss struck him out 99 on the inner edge, seven strikeouts for Skeens through five scoreless innings. Back to back singles for the Pirates to start the fifth Bucks on the pot for Brian Reynolds roller seeing a single here comes the second run of the game for the Pirates and in the and safe is Nicky Jean and on the second is Reynolds. It’s two nothing but goes great. Base running by reynolds. I don’t know how reynolds gets his ball through the ball was 68 inches off the plate inside. He just fights it off and just gets it by the two diving infielders on the left side. You’re going to walk mccutcheon to load the bases and set up a double play for Nick Yorke and a line drive left and a base hit that strategy completely backfires on the Dodgers as Nick York doubles in a pair, four nothing pirates. So nick York’s second hit in the big leagues this year produces two runs as the Pirates continue to do what they’ve been doing lately and that’s just out hit teams and beat them hit to first Freeman will take it to the bag and Mccutchen will score Pittsburgh, the Pirates. ST Paul Skeens to a five nothing lead as we go to the sixth, the face of the top of the order show. Hey, O will lead it off. He struck out and walked against Skes. Here’s the set and now at two and Otani strikes out on 98 8 strikeouts for have not helped themselves offensively. Tonight, a guy that throws hard to begin with good breaking stuff on top of it, but they have chased and chased and chased that pop up on the infield can pitched six and one third scoreless against the Dodgers in April with nine strikeouts and tonight through five and two thirds with eight strikeouts, fly ball deep left center Canario back and he’s there approaching the notch and that is six shutout innings for the incredible Paul schemes who leads it a standing ovation. Five nothing Pirates lead the Dodgers. They shut them out last night. Three nothing Pirates have not swept the Dodgers here in this ballpark in 10 years and Mookie bets the lead off bench is zero for three in the ball game tonight. That’s belt the ball left field hit deep this ball back. This ball got a home run. Mookie Becs gets the Dodgers on the board with his 15th home run of the season and it’s 5 to 1. Well, it’s the beginning second hit of the night for Conforto. The Dodgers with runners at the corners and the Paz is zero for three first pitch. Ground ball stopped at short by Triolo. He shovels a second, not in time. Hernandez scores. The Dodgers are within three things are getting interesting but the Dodgers have really waited a long time tonight to create some electricity and it becomes a save situation. Holderman has two career saves. Both coming in the 23 season. This would be number three for him. Two runs across. They need at least three more but they have just one more out left groundball base hit in the conforto getting the windmill home. It’s 5 to 3 and the tying runs are on base. Here comes Ben Rortvedt. He’s got Otani on deck and Rortvedt desperately needs to get on base somehow here. Praise the jolly Roger Colin Holderman earns the save. The pirates sweep the Dodgers for the first time in over 10 years at PNC Park and the tying run left at first base and Otani left on deck and the pirates sweep the Dodgers here in Pittsburgh.
