Pirates implode in sixth inning, routed again by White Sox; bullpen to blame this time
The Pittsburgh Pirates' two-run lead quickly evaporated in the sixth inning, and they were never able to recover in a 10-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox at PNC Park on Saturday night.
After squandering chances in the early innings, the Pirates (39-60) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Ke'Bryan Hayes ripped a two-run double to right-center, and two batters later, scored on Isiah Kiner-Falefa single up the middle.
Pirates starter Mike Burrows carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before the White Sox (34-65) rallied for a pair of runs. Lenyn Sosa delivered an RBI single and Josh Rojas brought Chicago within a run with a double.
Nick Gonzales responded with an RBI double off the Clemente Wall in right to put the Pirates back up by a pair.

Browns K Dustin Hopkins looking to rebound in 2025 season
Browns K Dustin Hopkins looking to rebound in 2025 season originally appeared on The Sporting News During the 2022 (L.A. Chargers) and 2023 (Cleveland Browns) seasons, Dustin Hopkins was nearly perfect with a make percentage over 90%. During the 2023 Browns season, Hopkins made 8 of 10 on kicks over 50 yards and became a lethal weapon. Then during the 2024 offseason, he signed a three-year extension worth $15.9 million, and it all went downhill. Last year, Hopkins only made 66.7% of his kicks, which included only four of eight from 50-plus and three missed extra points. Even though last season there were talks about cutting him, he appears to be getting back to form as he kicked a game-winner in practice on Monday. We don't usually hear a ton on kickers out of camp, but seeing him get confidence early should only help his season get off to a better start than last year. Hopkins will be dealing with a short fuse by fans, and a few costly kicks missed at the beginning of the season could easily cost him his job.
