Deadspin | Cardinals roll past Pirates, Paul Skenes Apr 30, 2026; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins (40) delivers a pitch against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the first inning at PNC Park. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images JJ Wetherholt and Jordan Walker both homered during a three-run first inning off reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes and Alec Burleson went 3-for-5 with three RBIs as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals completed a four-game series sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 10-5 victory on Thursday afternoon. Nathan Church added a two-run double and Wetherholt and Walker, who had three RBIs, each finished with two hits. Pedro Pages and Nolan Gorman also had two hits for the Cardinals, who finished with 14 hits. Gordon Graceffo (2-0) picked up the win with 1 1/3 innings of hitless relief. Bryan Reynolds had two doubles and two RBIs and Brandon Lowe homered and also had an RBI double for Pittsburgh, which suffered its fifth straight loss. Skenes (4-2), who flirted with a perfect game while allowing one hit over seven innings in his previous start at Milwaukee, took the loss, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits over five innings. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out a season-high nine batters. Wetherholt led off the game with his seventh home run, a 391-foot drive to right, to give the Cardinals a quick 1-0 lead. Ivan Herrera followed with an infield single and scored one out later when Walker lined a 2-1 sweeper into the left field bleachers for his ninth homer to make it 3-0. The Cardinals extended the lead to 4-0 in the third when Burleson singled and advanced to second on a throwing error by shortstop Konnor Griffin. One out later, Gorman singled to right to drive in Burleson. Pittsburgh cut the lead to 4-1 in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk by Spencer Horwitz but St. Louis answered with an RBI single by Burleson to go back up by four runs, 5-1, in the fifth. The Pirates closed to 5-4 on a two-run double by Reynolds in the bottom of the fifth and Lowe’s 416-foot homer in the seventh. But the Cardinals broke the game open with five runs in the eighth off reliever Isaac Mattson, highlighted by Church’s two-riun double off the top of the fence in right-center and a two-run single by Burleson. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Cardinals #roll #Pirates #Paul #Skenes

Deadspin | Phillies score twice in ninth to stun Giants in Game 1 of DH Apr 30, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb (62) throws a pitch during the second inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Bryson Stott delivered a game-tying triple in the ninth inning and scored on Justin Crawford’s infield single as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to nip the visiting San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Thursday afternoon in Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader. Kyle Schwarber hit his 350th career home run for Philadelphia, which improved to 2-0 since Don Mattingly took over for Rob Thomson as manager earlier in the week. The Phillies had lost 11 of 12 prior to the managerial change. The Giants finished with eight hits – three by Heliot Ramos and two apiece by Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt. Logan Webb allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings and was in line for the victory before Ryan Walker blew the save in the ninth. San Francisco will try to split the twin bill Thursday evening in what appears to be a bullpen game for both teams. With Philadelphia trailing 2-1 in the ninth, Adolis Garcia led off with a single and scored easily on Stott’s one-out hit into the right-field corner. Walker (0-1) recovered to retire Edmundo Sosa, but Crawford followed with a grounder to the left side and beat out shortstop Willy Adames’ one-hop throw to first. Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out seven and walked three before exiting after 85 pitches. Three relievers held the visitors scoreless, including Chase Shugart (1-0), who recorded the final out of the ninth. San Francisco jumped on Sanchez for two runs in the first inning, capped by Schmitt’s single that made it 2-0 just four batters into the game. Philadelphia answered right back on Schwarber’s 10th homer of the season – a long blast into the right-field seats – but that was the lone offensive highlight for the hosts until the final frame. Webb gave up a single to Crawford with one out in the seventh, but the Phillies’ rookie was thrown out by Patrick Bailey trying to steal second. Webb then retired Rafael Marchan to end the inning, keeping San Francisco ahead 2-1. Erik Miller logged the eighth for the Giants before the Phillies rallied against Walker in the ninth. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Phillies #score #ninth #stun #Giants #Game
