Pirates Secure Consecutive Wins Over Mariners

The Pittsburgh Pirates snapped a 10-game losing streak with consecutive wins against the Seattle Mariners, culminating in a 7-2 victory on Saturday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had three hits including a first-inning homer, and Bailey Falter struck out eight in 5 2/3 innings. Despite injuries to key players Andrew McCutchen and Oneil Cruz, the Pirates managed to hold off late Mariners rallies, with David Bednar securing saves in both games. The Mariners have now lost five consecutive games and are struggling offensively, having scored more than three runs in recent games. George Kirby will start for Seattle in the series finale, looking to rebound from a disastrous outing against the Tigers.
