Pirates Complete Historic 6-0 Homestand Outscoring Mets, Cardinals 43-4

News summary

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been on an impressive run, completing a perfect 6-0 homestand in which they outscored the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals by a combined 43-4, marking a dominating performance rare in major league history. This surge has come under interim manager Don Kelly, who took over after Derek Shelton was fired, with the team showing a 26-24 record since May 8. The Pirates achieved a feat not seen since at least 1901 by scoring 43 or more runs while allowing four or fewer in such a span, including pitching three consecutive shutouts against the Cardinals, a first against one team since 1976. Shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa highlighted the confidence gained from this dominant home performance, and Kelly praised the starting rotation and bullpen for their exceptional work against quality teams. Despite the strong home showing, the Pirates face challenges on the road with a 12-29 away record as they embark on a nine-game trip. Meanwhile, the Pirates Club also saw success in other sports, with the Pirates Men’s A hockey team winning a home derby against the Wanderers B team, emphasizing the club’s spirited rivalry across disciplines.
