Athletics vs. Pirates Game Highlights (9/21/25) | MLB Highlights

It’s against Mike Bs. Been real good here in this first year. It’s been a couple of rough ones but not very many. Most of the times he, he’s been outstanding and at times those just about as hard as any of those young guys, he’s got an excellent fastball too. I think that’s overlooked. Stepping in is Lawrence Butler. Next pitch he’s hit in the air to left fly ball. Sowinski Backpedals several steps, Jackins for the Pirates gloves. It for the out now 30 home run designated hitter, Brent Rooker steps to the plate. A right handed batter against Burroughs. Rooker breaks his bat as he sends the ball into center field coming in o’neil Cruz. He’s not going to have a play and Rooker snaps an zero for 11 streak, snapped the bat in the process but he’ll take it. Nick Kurtz, the 22 swung on, hit into left center for a base hit with a play in front Rooker rounding second, he will hold there. So Kurtz with a hit, that’s his second hit of the series. These are in business 1st and 2nd 1 out for Soderstrom strikeouts. Here’s Jacob Wilson. We’re referencing Wilson’s hit last night. The only hit of the game, the Pirates were that close to a no hitter scoreless first in the books for mike Burroughs coming to bat and it’s going to be our old friend Mitch spin on the bump making his eighth start of this season high in the air to left shallow coming in will be Tyler Soderstrom one out now, Jared Triolo one two, Triolo on the ground to Jacob wilson backhanded second out Brian Reynolds homered in the third inning last night. Spence with the one pitch and a line drive base hit in the center field to left center Lawrence Butler over quickly and reynolds will hold with the single two out base hit brings up spencer Horwitz 15. This pitch is taken outside this ball four and two aboard coming up. Now make a stretch pirate fans greeting andrew Mccutchen with a rousing ovation as he steps to the plate. This perhaps his last game in a Pirates uniform at PNC park and a line drive base hit to right center field and the Bucks will take a one nothing lead and the throw to third is late. Diving into the bag goes horror. What’s andrew mccutcheon? If it is indeed his last home game in a Pirates uniform has an RB I single in the first inning giving him 57 ribbies on the year and the lead one nervous there brownie with Horowitz going from first to third on that throw because there was no play at home, but there was a play at third R B I for Andrew Mccutchen. Nick Gonzalez looks for his first hit of this series. He’s zero for six. Does have a sacrifice fly. That was in game 12, 67 average for Nicky G. How about nick Gonzalez coming through? Ain gonna get by Cortez. It’s an RB I single and the error allows the runners to move up another base. Two Pirates here in the first inning and the right fielder Cortez is lucky that this ball wasn’t hit a little harder because it only got past him probably 10 ft or so. Otherwise Kush probably would have been able to score from first. That was weird. It was weird. Here’s Jack Sowinski, here’s the payoff pitch and nick Kurtz able to dive and make the catch Kurts and a couple more runs. Mitch Spence gave up two Joey Bart eight in the order leads off here against Mitch Spence. There, a ground ball sharply hit up the middle, a roller leadoff hit for Bart right up the middle. And now nick hit hard on a short hop to the second baseman Schuman. He knocks it down, goes to second still and gets the runner. Bart. I don’t know how Schuman was able to recover and get the lead runner, but they do on the 4 to 6 fielder’s choice play. I’m with you. I thought for sure he was going to get the sure out at first. Good heads up play by Schuman to see where Bard was and quickly make that decision to get the lead run. That’s a nice play. So Yorke reaches on the fielder’s choice. Here comes o’neill Cruz Cruz with the fly ball to left with the catch. Cruz has flied out both times to the left fielder brings up Jared Triolo, uh to left and deep. Soderstrom runs on a roll home run for Jared Triolo. Number seven for Jared Pirates up four in the second that he had a pretty good feeling about who talked about what breeze there is, is going to help that. He hit it very high and it just drifting and drifting. Getting out of here 402 ft. That’s a home run everywhere. Two aboard with two outs for Jacob Wilson wilson flied to right in the first inning second in the American League in hitting behind aaron Judge who’s batting 329 throws the bat out at that one, but York is able to track it down and Burroughs has stranded five A’s through three second and third with one out. You have to love the way. Nick York is swinging the bat out to talk to the pitcher Spence with oil. Cruz stepping to the plate line drive, pull it into right center field. This will score to give the, it’s a six nothing lead ball was overrun by the right fielder Cortez and Cruz will take advantage a headfirst dive into second base. He picks up two ribbies and the Pirates now lead six nothing in the fourth. Very nice piece of hitting right here from o’neal 130 mile an hour ball off his bat to the big part of the field. That’s what you’re looking to do. And he sees the bobble in right field and turns it into a double bart and York score. Here’s Jared Triolo, the pitch and a ground ball hit to right center field. That’ll score Cruz seven nothing Pirates. Third RB I of the afternoon for Triolo as Cruz scores from second, the hits keep on coming another nice approach from Jared Triolo with a man in scoring position using the big part, opposite field gets rewarded with a single and an RB I seven to zero. Pirates lead. Fifth inning Carmen Mask takes over on the mound for the Pirates after mike Burrs goes four shutout innings. Five hits did not walk a man and struck out three. Next offering is popped up right center and the center fielder Cruz will make the catch. Here’s Lawrence Butler there. When we get off the elevator, there’s a ground ball to second and this is a 43 put out 21 pitch is chopped to third and up with it is Triolo and on to first for the out 53. So Winski gets the double and mccutcheon has to hold at third base. Joy Bart of the plate. The infield comes in drive to left field. Way back back is Soderstrom wall gone clear the deck with a Bart dart that’s a three run blast and the Bucks have opened up a 10 nothing lead in the fifth inning four for Barton. This one was 100 and nine off the back. Greg. This got to the second seating area out there in left field. You don’t see many guys go out there. No one ball, two strikes, the pitch swing and a miss curveball strikes out Kurtz two Ks for Magy J JB is going to pinch it for. So the 22 pitch swing and a miss struck him out with a fastball 97 miles an hour from Minsky, Jacob Wilson at the plate with a 12 offering groundball right side. Second baseman Nick York on to first and mass his second perfect inning back to back cases for Bedos. Now struck out four as he faces Julie Bard who looks to continue his perfect afternoon, two singles and a three run bomb. Yeah, he’s in this game too. 32 and a fair ball past the diving third baseman hers and into second base with a double and a perfect day for Joey Bart , two singles, a homer and a double to left and three RBIs to boot. He’s just a triple away from the cycle, greg. Here we go. Let’s see that you see if Park gets another shot. Scott mcguff. As you just outlined your back up, big swing from o’neill Cruz popped up three a converging on it. It will be Carlos Cortez ultimately making the call right side of the infield running a long way out there. And it’s one of those plays where I think everybody after the fact, just trying to make sure that all body parts are connected who is directing today’s broadcast. And Triolo has a four hit day for her homer, double, couple of singles, a relentless offense for the Pirates this afternoon. Next offering is a base hit to left field. Triolo had to freeze on the line drive. It’s 1st and 3rd with one away. Alexander Canario gets in on the act. Wizard going down swinging in this last home game. Now another opportunity with runners on the corner, 1st 3rd, spencer Horowitz out there faces the right there is a bouncing ball diving stop knocked down by the first baseman Harris recovers and tosses the ball onto mcguff covering it’s an out at first but another run and the Pirates lead 11 nothing. Here comes andrew Mccutchen. How fitting. And they’re all standing here for andrew Mccutchen with a runner at second and two outs still standing. These fans get it mccutcheon now in the box and it’s a called third strike. A splitter called out on strikes by the home plate umpire Jen Powell Mccutchen heads to the dugout and everybody’s standing takes off his helmet. He walks down the dugout steps, Pirates leading 11 nothing. Now to the ninth inning as the new pitcher for the Bucks is Dowry Mota and the batter is lefty hitting carlos Cortez, the A’s right fielder, the ball bounced behind the bag is Horwitz. The Pirates first baseman steps on first for the first out here in the ninth one away in the ninth, Marta’s pitch swing and a miss one more out to get. And here’s the catcher Willie macgyver and there it is swing and a miss strikeout. Raise the Jolly Roger back to back shutouts over the, a nice finish to the home schedule.
