Works out of jam in eighth inning
PPittsburgh Pirates
May 9, 2025
Bednar allowed two hits and struck out three across a scoreless eighth inning to earn a hold Friday against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Bullpen usage will be particularly notable in Pittsburgh for the next several games due to their managerial change. Bednar entered Friday's game in the eighth inning with a three-run lead and faced the top of Atlanta's order. He allowed a pair of singles but escaped the jam and has now allowed two earned runs across nine innings with a 13:1 K:BB since being recalled to the majors April 19. Dennis Santana was shaky but converted the save Friday.
