Sister Bridges nominated for historic designation
Nobody would think there to be any sibling relationship between Pop Art iconoclast Andy Warhol, Pittsburgh Pirates Great Roberto Clemente and science pioneer Rachel Carson.
But the three bridges named after each of the historic figures of the region's cultural life known as the 'Sister Bridges' are slated to be recognized for some history of their own as Preservation Pittsburgh has nominated them for historic designation by the city, with the nomination scheduled to be presented to the Historic Review Commission on Wednesday, June 4.
A preliminary Development Activities Meeting on the nomination of the three bridges will be hosted on Zoom by the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership on Wednesday evening.

Missed Call Costs Pirates Late; Keller's Quality Start Not Enough in Loss to Padres
This article originally appeared on Henry Davis appeared to have drawn a game-tying walk with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth, but home plate umpire Edwin Jimenez didn't see it that way. Advertisement Jimenez called strike three to end the eighth inning and prevent the Pittsburgh Pirates from tying that game with a chance to do more. Ultimately, the Pirates fell 3-2 to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Friday night. How We Got There Mitch Keller retired the first 11 batters he faced before Manny Machado doubled to right with two outs in the fourth. Following the double, Jackson Merrill was credited with an RBI infield single on a ball that shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa couldn't handle.

Dodgers Trade Idea Lands Former Yankees Veteran Isiah Kiner-Falefa
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in first place in the National League West, a promising sign for the team after the injuries they've dealt with. However, after being swept by their cross-town rival, the Los Angeles Angels, the Dodgers hope to turn things around over the next few weeks. It won't be much easier, as they have a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets, Cleveland Guardians, New York Yankees, and the Mets again over the next month. Advertisement Still, Los Angeles is good enough to compete with anybody. Despite being in first place, and the Dodgers looking good on paper, they'll likely make a trade at the deadline. Jason Fray of Dodgers Nation pitched the idea of them trading for Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who used to play for the New York Yankees and is currently with the brutal Pittsburgh Pirates. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30) looks on against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the fifth inning at Chase Camporeale-Imagn Images 'Kiner-Falefa would be an example of the Dodgers working on the fringes. Having said that, he does fit the archetype in what Friedman looks for in a player. 'For one, Kiner-Falefa has immense positional versatility — seemingly a prerequisite for any L.A. position player. He's currently the Pirates' starting shortstop, though the 2020 Gold Glove winner can also play third base, second base, and the outfield. Traditionally, Kiner-Falefa is also a guy who rarely strikes out,' he wrote. Advertisement The Pirates are expected to be sellers at the deadline, and Kiner-Falefa could make sense. He's had parts throughout his career where he looks to be a decent big league player, especially on the defensive side of the baseball. He's never going to impress much with his offensive production, but if he can give the Dodgers a 90-plus OPS+, there could be value in trading for him on the margins.
