Alex Stumpf breaks down why the Pirates’ opener-plus-bulk plan worked so well in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over the Nationals, and why Carmen Mlodzinski may be at his best in a flexible role that plays to his strengths. The episode also looks at Mason Montgomery’s clean opener, how the Pirates neutralized James Wood, and what this could mean for Mlodzinski’s future in the rotation.
