Andrew McCutchen's Behavior Toward Umpire in Pirates-Padres Turns Heads
Andrew McCutchen's Behavior Toward Umpire in Pirates-Padres Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Things are not looking so good for Andrew McCutchen and the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are wallowing at the bottom of the National League Central Division with just a 21-37 record following their 3-2 loss to the San Diego Padres to open a three-game series at Petco Park in San Diego on Friday. Advertisement What made the loss even more frustrating for the Pirates and their fans was their perceived poor job by the umpires in officiating the contest. That was perhaps best summed up by the call the home plate umpire made in the bottom of the eighth inning. With the Pirates trailing San Diego, 3-2, and the bases loaded, Pittsburgh Henry Davis stepped on the plate looking to at least drive in a run. Davis battled San Diego closer Robert Suarez to a full count after five pitches. Suarez's sixth offering to Davis looked as though it went too low. Davis even started his motion toward first base. But the umpire ruled that he struck out looking to end the inning. Following that call on Davis, veteran Pirates designated hitter Andrew McCutchen tried to stare down the home plate umpire, according to SportsNet Pittsburgh reporter Hannah Mears. Advertisement The Pirates also shared the video of McCutchen's action. Meanwhile, several fans online shared their thoughts on McCuthen's gesture as well. "Cutch is badass. Doesn't do any good, but mad respect for the stare down with the plate ump.," said a fan on X. Another one said: "Cutch with the death stare at the young pup 🐶 UMP said it all from Bucco fans.' From a commenter: "McCutchen stared at the home plate ump the entire inning 🤣 [expletive] that ump.' 'This is why we love @TheCUTCH22,' a social media user commented. Via a commenter: 'Cutch is badass. Doesn't do any good, but mad respect for the stare down with the plate ump.'

Suarez gets huge strikeout as the Padres beat the Pirates for the 10th straight time
SAN DIEGO — San Diego closer Robert Suarez got a huge called third strike with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning and the Padres beat Pittsburgh 3-2 on Friday night for their 10th straight victory over the Pirates. After Jason Adam loaded the bases with two outs, Suarez came in and struck out Henry Davis looking on a low pitch that appeared out of the strike zone. Davis tossed his bat and started taking off his wrist guard in anticipation of taking first and then threw up his arms in disgust and tossed his helmet. Andrew McCutchen, representing the tying run, put his hands on his helmet in surprise halfway up the line.

Paul Skenes dominates in Pirates' win over Diamondbacks
Paul Skenes dominated in six-plus scoreless innings, O'Neil Cruz hit a two-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates rolled over the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-1 on Wednesday. The Pirates rallied from down 6-2 with seven runs in the eighth inning to beat the Diamondbacks 9-6 on Tuesday night. There was no need for a comeback with Skenes (4-5) on the mound. Last year's NL rookie of the year allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked none in 6 2/3 innings. Skenes has not allowed more than six hits in an MLB-record 35 starts to open his career. Pittsburgh took two of three from Arizona for its first road series win and second overall since April 22-24 against the Los Angeles Angels. Arizona's Zac Gallen (3-7) allowed six runs — five earned — on six hits with three strikeouts and three walks in five innings. Gallen walked the leadoff batter three times and all three scored. Arizona has lost seven of eight. Henry Davis hit a run-scoring single in the second inning after a leadoff walk and Pittsburgh scored two runs in the fifth on second baseman Jordan Lawler's throwing error following a leadoff walk. Gallen issued another leadoff walk in the sixth inning and was pulled after Ke'Bryan Hayes' run-scoring single. Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a two-run double off Juan Morillo and Bryan Reynolds made it 8-0 with a run-scoring triple. Kiner-Falefa broke the game open with his double in the sixth. Pittsburgh scored 19 straight runs against Arizona in two games before pinch hitter Tim Tawa's leadoff homer in the ninth. Pirates RHP Mitch Keller (1-6, 3.66 ERA) pitches the opener of a three-game series at San Diego on Friday. The Diamondbacks have not announced a starter for Friday's opener of a three-game home series against Washington.

Pirates erase six-run deficit, beat Diamondbacks 9-0 with 8th inning outburst
Bryan Reynolds had four hits, including a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth, and the Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a six-run deficit to stun the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-6 on Tuesday night. The Pirates, who entered the night 0-29 when trailing after seven innings, were down 6-2 before scoring seven times in the eighth against Arizona relievers Kevin Ginkel and Jalen Beeks. The key blows were Isiah Kiner-Falefa's three-run double, which tied the game and knocked out Ginkel (0-3). After Geraldo Perdomo's error allowed Oneil Cruz to reach base, Reynolds followed with a homer to left-center off Beeks to make it 9-6. Henry Davis also homered for Pittsburgh. Joey Wentz (2-1) pitched 3 2/3 innings of long relief for the Pirates. David Bednar retired the side in order in the ninth for his sixth save. Corbin Burnes pitched seven solid innings, giving up six hits and striking out six. Davis' homer with a man on in the sixth not only ended Burnes' shutout bid, it was the first time the Pirates scored in the series after losing 5-0 Monday night. The Diamondbacks built a 6-0 lead. Corbin Carroll homered leading off the first, then Arizona chased Pirates starter Mike Burrows in the fourth with five runs, including Perdomo's bases-loaded single off Wentz. Burrows, making his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, lasted 3 1/3 innings, giving up five hits and five runs, four earned. Arizona's All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte sat out the game due to illness. Davis led off the eighth with a double against Ginkel and four of the next five batters reached, ending with Kiner-Falefa's bases-clearing double. The Pirates bullpen retired the last 17 Arizona batters of the game. Pirates ace Paul Skenes (3-5, 2.36 ERA) faces fellow RHP Zac Gallen (3-6, 5.25) of Arizona in Wednesday's series finale. ___ AP MLB:
