The Pirates scored four runs off of Brant Hurter in the top half of the 10th inning on Thursday, the final two coming on a two-out, two-run knock by Kiner-Falefa that seemingly put the game out of reach. With his two-hit attack, the 30-year-old infielder is now hitting .288/.333/.358 with one homer, 17 RBI and nine stolen bases on the season.

The 31-year-old elected free agency on Friday after he was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, but it sounds like the two sides were eventually able to reach an agreement. The 31-year-old backstop will continue to function as extra catching depth for the Bucs.

Triolo victimized Tigers’ left-hander Tyler Holton for his 422-foot (106.3 mph EV) to straight away center field in the second inning, extending the Pirates’ early lead to 3-0. That would be his only hit in the contest, as he finished the night 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts, though he also worked a walk in the 10th inning. On the season, the 27-year-old infielder is slashing a cringe-inducing .179/.276/.308 with three long balls and nine RBI.

The 23-year-old right-hander scattered three hits on the evening while issuing an uncharacteristic five walks. All of the damage done against him came in the fifth inning on a two-out, two-run double off the bat of Gleyber Torres. Aside from that inning though, Skenes was in complete command. He generated a whopping 21 swings and misses on 105 pitches on the night — 10 of them on his fastball — while posting a strong CSW of 30 percent. Still an inexplicable 4-6 on the season, he’ll bring an impressive 1.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 106/27 K/BB ratio (102 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

The double was hit 113.3 mph, which is a new high EV for him in tracked games. It also was the high mark for all Triple-A hitters Thursday. Lawlar is batting .286/.408/.603 with four homers and five steals in 15 games since the Diamondbacks returned him to Triple-A.

Lindor is 5-for-38 with no RBI in his last 10 games, and he’s been tumbling down the list of WAR leaders with the All-Star balloting in full swing. It seemed like a lock that this was the year he’d end his long All-Star drought — he last went with the Guardians in 2019, even though he’s finished ninth, ninth and second in the NL MVP balloting the last three years — but that might be in some doubt now. He is way out in front in the fan balloting, but since that’s done in stages now, he could win the first round and perhaps lose to Mookie Betts in the second. He also has to contend with Trea Turner outhitting him and Elly De La Cruz in the home run lead at the position.

Bichette is now up to 10 home runs and 44 RBI on the season while slashing .275/.317/.437. After spending the last couple of seasons swinging at almost anything and being forced to hit everything the other way, Bichette has made a clear approach change this season. His launch angle is the highest it’s been since 2020, and his fly ball rate is also the highest it’s been in the same span. Additionally, his overall swing rate and chase rate are the lowest they’ve ever been in Bichette’s career, which is a clear sign that he’s waiting for more pitches that he can drive and then trying to do damage on them rather than expanding the zone early in the count and swinging at pitches he can slap for a single. It’s a great change for his fantasy value.
