The Pittsburgh Pirates "are ready to make a tidal wave" at the 2025 MLB trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Jim Bowden.

Pain was the price of admission to MLB history Friday night for Cincinnati Reds center fielder TJ Friedl. The leadoff man was hit by a pitch three times in a 8-4 win over the New York Mets, tying a major-league record. The Mets have won 3 in a row after losing 14 of 17 games and falling to second place in the NL East.

BOTTOM LINE: The Pittsburgh Pirates play the Detroit Tigers, leading the series 1-0. Pittsburgh has a 27-24 record at home and a 40-61 record overall. The Pirates have a 28-17 record in games when they record eight or more hits.

The Tigers have a quick turnaround, as they finished up a three-game series against the Texas Rangers late Sunday night. Detroit dropped the first two games of the series with limited offense, but relied on great pitching from Tarik Skubal and company kept the Tigers from getting swept.

The Detroit Tigers are projected as a top landing spot for a Pirates pitcher holding a 2.45 ERA ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

Flaherty, a right-hander for the Detroit Tigers, didn't return to the mound for the fourth inning Monday, July 21, against the Pittsburgh Pirates, replaced by left-handed reliever Dietrich Enns, who completed the next 2⅔ innings. It was another poor start.
