The Pirates’ 2025 season has ranged from disappointing to disastrous. Their home finale, in a word, was dominant.

The Pirates crushed the Athletics 11-0 in their final 2025 game at PNC Park on Sunday afternoon. They led 4-0 after two innings, 7-0 after four and 10-0 after the fifth.

Four pitchers combined for a shutout, the Pirates’ second consecutive shutout and their MLB-leading 19th of the season.

Designated hitter Andrew McCutchen, playing in possibly his final game at PNC Park, started the Pirates with an RBI single in the first inning. The 38-year-old McCutchen, who has said he wants to play in 2026, is a free agent after this season.

Third baseman Jared Triolo went 3 for 4 with a single, a double and a two-run homer off Athletics starter Mitch Spence in the second inning.
