Sparks Fly Early & Often in Pirates 8-3 Win Over Cardinals
North Shore Nine: A Pittsburgh Pirates PodcastAbout this episode
North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bro’s. The Pittsburgh Pirates took down the Cardinals 8–3 and the North Shore Nine Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. has it all covered! Jim and Tyler break down a huge night for the Bucs, starting with a first-inning explosion that put St. Louis away early. Mitch Keller delivered a much-needed bounce-back start with 9 strikeouts, while Henry Davis showed flashes with a long at-bat capped by a homer and a highlight defensive play. We also dive into Jared Triolo’s scorching stretch at shortstop, Kyle Nicolas’ emergence as a reliable bullpen arm, and the surprising rise of Isaac Madsen. Plus, plenty of laughs along the way—including some Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce talk and another round of Ryan’s FanDuel misfires. The Pirates now lead the season series over the Cardinals and sit just one win away from clinching it. Stick around to the end for our Primanti Bros. sandwich giveaway winners and a look ahead to tomorrow’s matchup with Sonny Gray. ⚾ Subscribe to North Shore Nine for more Pirates postgame shows, analysis, and fan perspective all season long!
