Pham and Horwitz lead Pirates past Rangers to prevent sweep
Tommy Pham went 3 for 3 and drove in three runs, Spencer Horwitz and Bryan Reynolds also had three hits, and the Pittsburgh Pirates used a five-run fifth inning to beat the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Sunday and avoid a three-game sweep. Pham tied it 2-all with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and capped the fifth-inning rally with an RBI double for a 7-2 advantage. He drove in Pittsburgh's final run with a double in the seventh. Horwitz went 3 for 4 with two doubles. He scored three runs and drove in two. Reynolds had a double and scored as the Pirates finished with 15 hits. Texas starter Jack Leiter was lifted in favor of Caleb Boushley after walking Oneil Cruz to begin the fifth with the score tied at 2. Cruz advanced to third on a groundout and Reynolds' single. Nick Gonzales singled to give Pittsburgh the lead, and Horwitz hit a shot to right field that Adolis García misplayed into a two-run double that made it 5-2. Ke'Bryan Hayes added an RBI single before scoring on Pham's double. Bailey Falter walked two to begin the second, and both scored on back-to-back RBI singles by Josh Smith and Josh Jung to put the Rangers up 2-0. Hayes doubled in the Pirates' first run after one-out singles by Joey Bart and Horwitz in the fourth. Falter (6-3) pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and five walks. Three relievers finished for Pittsburgh. Leiter (4-5) permitted three runs and five hits in four-plus innings. Boushley gave up five runs in four innings. Hayes saved two runs when he dove to his left at third base with runners on second and third to take away a hit from García for the final out in the third with the Pirates trailing 2-0. Cruz, in a 4-for-37 slump, used his speed to spark the Pirates. He was off and running for his 27th stolen base on a grounder by Andrew McCutchen. Cruz didn't get the steal, but he prevented a double play and later scored the go-ahead run. Up next The Pirates hadn't announced a starter for Monday's series opener in Milwaukee against Brewers rookie RHP Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.50 ERA). Texas will start LHP Patrick Corbin (4-6, 3.91 ERA) on Monday in Baltimore opposite LHP Trevor Rogers (0-0, 3.12). ___ AP MLB:

Royals Urged To Gain Switch-Hitting Outfield Help From Hapless Pirates
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Kansas City Royals have the second-worst offense in all of baseball, yet sat 1 1/2 games out of the last wild card spot entering Friday. With the Tigers seemingly running away with the American League Central, the Royals will certainly join a group jockeying for position in the wild card race. Knowing that, Zachary Rymer of Bleacher Report thinks that the Pittsburgh Pirates may have the solution for the Royals' outfield with Bryan Reynolds. PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 9: Bryan Reynolds #10 of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits a three-run triple during the third inning against the Miami Marlins at PNC Park on June 9, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 9: Bryan Reynolds #10 of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits a three-run triple during the third inning against the Miami Marlins at PNC Park on June 9, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Photo byThe Pirates are the league's worst offense and are in the cellar of the National League Central once again. After signing Reynolds to a big contract three years ago, Reynolds has not played up to the level that got him paid. Reynolds has already asked out of Pittsburgh once, and he very well could do so again if the Pirates don't move him first. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that the Pirates are not listening to offers on Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz, but would be open to hearing offers on the rest of their roster. Reynolds would be able to net a decent return, and with the right team, the outfielder could flourish in the major leagues once again. The Royals have gained a boost in outfield production since Jac Caglianone made his debut. Despite his early struggles, the rookie is hitting the ball hard around the ballpark. Reynolds would come in and be able to service the Royals similarly, even though he has not played up to his highest level in recent years. The Royals would be able to take on the remainder of his contract and would help solidify their outfield in what they hope to be the opening of a championship window. With Bobby Witt Jr. locked up long term, the team needs to continue to build around him. More MLB: Nationals Executive Responds To Manager Dave Martinez's Comments
