Pirates' Early Lead


The Pirates started strong, scoring two runs in the first inning and adding another in the second inning thanks to timely hits from key players like Bryan Reynolds. However, despite accumulating nine hits throughout the game, they struggled to capitalize further against a determined Angels defense.


Pittsburgh's pitching staff managed to keep things close but ultimately couldn't contain Los Angeles during that decisive fourth inning surge. Their lone error also contributed to giving up crucial bases that allowed LAA’s offense more room for maneuvering.
