The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 at PNC Park on April 17, 2026. Bubba Chandler delivered a strong performance on the mound, allowing just three hits and one run over a season-high six innings to earn his first win of the season. At the plate, Oneil Cruz provided the go-ahead spark with a home run, while Brandon Lowe led the offense with a 3-for-5 with two RBIs as the Pirates secured the victory at home.

HOIST THE CONE!!!💛🤍🖤
Pirates jerseys 🔥🔥🔥
Lets GO BLACK AND YELLOW
Hoist it
These jerseys are great
Frustrating to see those base runners not score in the early innings, but nice to see the offense come through in the later innings! Pitching staff just doin' its thing again, giving up only 1 run. #LetsGoBucs ⚾🏴☠
This bucs line-up is pretty scary. Not really how baseball works but if o'hearn, lowe, cruz and ozuna are all moving the right way its very hard to get through them.
Cruz missile pun again! Hilarious! Like the US cruise missile that vaporized all those children in Iran. Very tasteful!
Pittsburgh, pirate fanbase is pathetic if that's all of the fans that you can get in a stadium to support a team that's pathetic
The Bucs 3rd base coach sucks. He held up 2 runners last game who would have scored very easily and today he sends Horowitz [who is slower than a root cannel] and it out by a lot. He's cost 3 runs in the past 2 games.
The cone shall rise!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pirates aren't even close to good enough to be locked behind Apple TV pay walls.
Love these jerseys. So much better than the last City Connects
Reynolds needs to steep up his game
Ya I gotta say I like the uniforms and the fact that we are scoring runs this year. We are still a middle reliever short. The bullpen isn’t great but damn I’m glad to see us winning games.
Way T o Go Pirates"s Way to Go!
1:32 they didn’t show the people controlling the digital stuff shooting the fireworks saying “CANNON BALL COMING” and mistaking a ground rule double for a home run… I was at this game and was SOOO confused along with every other fan 😂😂😂
