To quote the late great Ernie Banks, “Let’s play two.”

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals will play a doubleheader on Saturday after Friday night’s matchup was postponed due to inclement weather. The first pitch for game one between the Pirates and Nationals is at 1:35 p.m. ET, and the second game starts at 6:40 p.m. ET.

Pittsburgh took the opening game of the series 9-4. Nick Gonzalez paced the Pittsburgh offense, driving in a team-high 3 RBIs. The Pirates made the most of their opportunities to score, batting 5-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

Five different players had one RBI for Pittsburgh.

Bailey Falter overcame a three-run first inning to earn the win. He pitched five innings, allowed seven hits, three runs, two walks and struck out three batters. Aroldis Chapman pitched 0.2 innings to earn his sixth save of the season.

Nationals starter Jake Irvin took the loss after allowing six runs over five innings.

In the first game of the doubleheader, Luis Ortiz will get the start for Pittsburgh. Ortiz is 6-4 with a 3.19 ERA and has pitched a career-best 15 consecutive scoreless innings. He’ll be opposed by DJ Hertz. The 23-year-old left-hander is 2-7 with a 4.09 ERA through 15 starts.

Both starters were scheduled to start on Friday.

In game two, Mitch Keller will get the rock for the Pirates. Pittsburgh’s veteran right-hander has struggled of late, going 1-4 with a 5.70 ERA in his last seven starts. Keller is 11-9 with a 3.88 ERA through 27 starts this season.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Six pizza shops in the Pittsburgh area are going to need more dough after a popular pizza reviewer dropped by their restaurants unannounced.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy popped into six pizza shops around the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday to give ratings on his popular ‘One Bite’ pizza reviews.

KDKA-TV’s Jessica Guay visited a few pizza shops to find out how they’re handling all the attention even before their scores are out.

Sean Jefairjian, who owns A Slice of New York in Murrysville, makes running a busy pizza joint look easy, and things are about to get even crazier.

Jefairjian said he’s been petitioning to get Portnoy to try his artisanal pizza with New York bones for several years.

“We were his first stop off the plane, and it was a pretty cool experience him coming in,” he said. “I always said if Dave ever came in, we would get either a 7.9 or 8.1, depending on how long the pizza sits in the box, and let’s just say, we did better than I thought I would,” Jefairjian added.

Portnoy also visited Ianni’s Pizzeria in Delmont.

“I was like, ‘That’s Dave Portnoy. He’s probably here to review the pizza.’ It’s just like, we’re all shocked, and that he would just come here and recognize the pizza,” said Chad Kaylor, general manager of Ianni’s Pizzeria.

Owner of Ianni’s Pizzeria, Wesley Harris, said he was excited to have Portnoy try his pizza. He said they focus on specialty pizza, with different sauces and creations his father came up with.

“I was pretty excited. It’s an honor to have him come all the way out here and try our pizza. I know he likes New York style,” Harris said.

Rockaway Pizzeria in White Oak was another stop for the pizza influencer — where owner Josh Sickels specializes in pizza similar to what you’d find in the northeast, including Brooklyn.

“To my knowledge, it’s the highest score he’s ever given out in Pittsburgh. He posted a picture of my building, and it’s been nuts, like chaos. We sold out at 5:30 today on a Friday, and we were ready to go with dough, more than we’re capable of,” Sickels said.

And the reviews aren’t even out yet!

KDKA-TV confirmed Portnoy also went to Pizzeria Davide in the Strip District, Pizza Lupo in Lawrenceville, and Iron Born in Millvale.

It was an experience that can’t be topped. A lot of nerves and excitement are at the six pizza joints, as they could be flooded with even more pizza lovers — all because of that one bite.

“We are preparing for war. It’s going to be pizza-pocalypse in here for at least the next month or so, but we’ve been training for this,”  Jefairjian said.

Most of the owners know their scores, and some don’t. They expect the videos to start coming out on the ‘One Bite’ YouTube page as early as next week.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — For the sons and daughters of Ireland in Pittsburgh, this weekend will be, as they say in Ireland, one big cèilidh.

“This is the 33rd Irish Festival as the Carrie Blast Furnaces,” according to Mairin Petrone, executive director of the Pittsburgh Irish Festival.

Organizers say thousands are expected to enjoy the festival over the weekend. What can they expect?

“Music, food, dancing, entertainers, activities, stuff for everyone,” Petrone added.

Those entertainers also include Mr. Daniel Greenwolf, whose act is as educational as it is hot.

“I’m a magician, fire eater, and I tell stories about Irish history and Celtic mythology,” Greenwolf said.

The western Pa. Irish-American population is massive. Many immigrants ended up here for jobs in the steel mills, including at the old Carrie furnace.

“You can take a tour of the furnace to see where your ancestry or great grandparents or someone worked, and we also have a genealogy area, and you can learn where your ancestors came from Ireland, and how they landed in Pittsburgh, and we’ll tie it in for you,” Petrone said.

And yes, there will be food.

“We’ve got everything from Irish stew to shepherd’s pie, [and] colcannon. Bangers and mash, Dublin coddle, fish and chips, scones, and soda bread, and I could go on,” Petrone said.

And of course, you don’t need not have the blood of ancient Ireland flowing through your veins to be welcome.

“We do have a great time. You can have a Guinness, some stew, some Jamison, [and] tap your feet to some Irish music. We’re going to guarantee you a good time.”

The celebration will run from Friday to Sunday. More information can be found here.
