Ethan is back on the Locked On Pirates Podcast and in coming back, he's talking about the Pittsburgh Pirates winning baseball games folks. Pittsburgh has now won 7 of 10 as the season slowly comes to a close, so how could a positive ending impact 2024?

Also, Ke'Bryan Hayes has had a major resurgence since returning from injury, playing some of the best baseball of his Pirates career. Can it be sustained and how important is his success for the Pirates success moving forward?

Luis Ortiz pitched well on Monday as he looks for consistency. He was consistent Monday night, but can he prove to the Pirates he can be consistent each start?

Finally, Pittsburgh looks to earn a series win over the Brewers tonight and Ethan has your game preview.
