Analyse

The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings as he collected his fifth quality start of the season, and his first win since July 20. Ortiz is making a strong case to be a regular member of the Pirates' rotation in 2025 -- over eight starts since the All-Star break, he's posted a 3.69 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB through 46.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Nationals.
