PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates have looked for someone at catcher to step up and provide some offense and they finally got that in their latest win. Endy Rodríguez made his first start at catcher for the Pirates in 2026 and played a key role for them in their 7-2 win over the Colorado Rockies at PNC Park, securing a series victory for the home team. Rodríguez hit two doubles and walked once, while also catching five different Pirates pitchers, leading the team offensively and defensively with his work at and behind the plate.
