The Pittsburgh Pirates are facing a crucial game today against the Philadelphia Phillies, aiming to avoid a three-game sweep. After a disappointing 5-2 loss in the second game, where Bryan Reynolds hit a two-run homer, the Pirates find themselves struggling with a 3-12 record in May. To turn things around, they are relying on their ace, Paul Skenes, to deliver a strong performance on the mound. The game is set to start at 1:35 PM ET and will be broadcasted on SportsNet Pittsburgh.
