FINAL: Tigers 5, Pirates 3
Andrew Heaney struggled again in his second start of the spring. Justin Lawrence made his Pirates 2025 Grapefruit League debut and impressed. Tommy Pham hit a homer and threw a runner out. Joey Bart had a three-hit day
The Pirates are now 9-7 this spring
Tommy Pham said it was more of a precautionary move on his part to depart the contest early:
"In the season, I'd play through it. In the season, I don't miss any time with this. It's just because it's second week of March, spring training. You don't have to push it."
Tommy Pham was removed from today’s game with left hip tightness, per Pirates
Manager Derek Shelton on LHP Andrew Heaney, who is starting today's spring training game. Heaney officially signed a one-year deal on Feb. 22:
"All indications, he's fine. In terms of being ready for the season? No, nothing there of any concern."
The Braves walked it off against the Pirates, but Mike Burrows had his moments, as did Jared Triolo and Tim Mayza

The Pirates are 9-5 in Grapefruit League play
FINAL: Pirates 9, Orioles 5
Paul Skenes threw 63 pitches in his second start of the spring, Liver Peguero went yard and the Pirates secured their eighth win of the spring.
The Pirates are now 8-5 this spring.
Update from Derek Shelton on Adam Frazier, who hasn't appeared in a spring training game since Feb. 26:
"Yeah, he's doing fine. He's been battling a little bit of back stuff. So, [we've] just been very conservative with him. But, plan on him being in there later this week."
