Wednesday, 22 July, 2026
Tuesday’s game between the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates was postponed. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday.It’s not going to be the easiest day for the Pirates’ hitters, as they will have to face Max Fried and Gerrit Cole. The Pirates will have Mitch Keller and Bubba Chandler on the mound. The Pirates lost game one of the series, so they will have to sweep the doubleheader in order to win the set.Bucs On Deck is a reader-supported publication.
