Bryan Reynolds - Another strong night Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored Wednesday against the Giants.

Impact Reynolds produced only five RBI and 14 runs scored across 27 games in August, but he's turned in consecutive strong performances to begin the Pirates' current homestand. In those two contests, he's gone 3-for-10 with five runs scored and a double. Reynolds has scored 94 runs this season, setting a new career high.

Bubba Chandler - Yields three runs in no-decision Chandler allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four across five innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Wednesday.

Impact Chandler put the Pirates on the back foot early after yielding a solo homer to Rafael Devers in the first inning. Chandler bounced back to retire the next six batters he faced before giving up another two runs in the fifth, but he received enough run support from his Pirates teammates to avoid the loss. The 23-year-old right-hander has allowed at least three earned runs in two of his last three outings and has a 4.30 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 136 innings this season, though his 71 walks are third-most in the majors behind Robbie Ray (73) and Joey Cantillo (72). Chandler is tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the White Sox.

Lake Bachar - Opening Thursday Bachar will serve as the opening pitcher in Thursday's game against the Giants, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact Bachar will draw his eighth opening assignment of the season after giving up just two earned runs in 9.2 innings across his last five outings. He tossed 28 pitches in 2.1 frames during his most recent appearance Saturday and will likely have a similar workload Thursday before handing the game over to Carmen Mlodzinski.

Nick Gonzales - Three hits in Tuesday's win Gonzales went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Giants.

Impact Getting a rare start at DH and hitting cleanup, Gonzales was one of five Pirates with multiple hits on the night. The 27-year-old infielder has been swinging a hot bat all season, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .333/.435/.403 with five doubles, two steals, six runs and eight RBI. Gonzales still doesn't offer much power, however -- his homer drought stands at 33 games, and he has just six long balls in 536 plate appearances on the year.

Last Night In Baseball: The Pirates Walk Off In A Wild (And Necessary) Game

Mason Montgomery - Pockets sixth win Montgomery (6-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's wild 13-12 victory over the Giants, giving up two hits in a scoreless ninth inning. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

Impact The flame-throwing southpaw hit Turner Hill with a 98.9 mph sinker to lead off the ninth with the score tied 12-12, but Montgomery was able to erase him on a double-play grounder by Rafael Devers -- a timely escape considering the next two batters got hits. Montgomery extended his scoreless streak to 14.1 innings with the performance, a stretch in which he's converted all five of his save chances and picked up three wins over 15 appearances with a 0.63 WHIP and 24:3 K:BB.

Oneil Cruz - Drives in four runs in wild win Cruz went 4-for-6 with a run scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Giants.

Impact All four knocks were singles, but it was still a very productive night for Cruz, who got three of his RBI on two third-inning singles -- a frame that saw the Pirates send 15 men to the plate. The 27-year-old has racked up nine hits in his last four games, and since returning from a fractured hand in mid-August, Cruz has produced a .311/.392/.578 slash line over 12 contests with three homers, three steals, eight runs and 12 RBI.

Brandon Lowe - Launches 29th homer Lowe went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's wild 13-12 win over the Giants.

Impact In a contest that saw Pittsburgh score nine runs in the third inning without getting an extra-base hit before walking it off in the ninth on a throwing error, Lowe supplied one of the few actual offensive highlights when he took Cesar Perdomo deep in the seventh inning. The four hits tied Lowe's career high, while the long ball was his 29th of the season, leaving him on the brink of his third career 30-homer campaign. Over his last 10 games, the veteran second baseman has produced a .306/.419/.611 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, four RBI and 10 runs.

Paul Skenes - Stumbles against Giants Skenes didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's wild 13-12 win over the Giants, coughing up five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact An anticipated pitchers' duel between Skenes and Logan Webb never materialized, as the San Francisco ace got chased from the game in the third inning, while his Pittsburgh counterpart couldn't escape the fifth. Skenes has been able to complete six frames just once in his last seven starts, limping to a 5.77 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 34.1 innings over that stretch with an 0-3 record. He'll try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Angels.
