When rain reshapes a schedule, it sometimes reshapes a series. What began as a postponed single game became a Wednesday doubleheader between the Yankees and Pirates — a compressed, unforgiving format that rewards composure over momentum. Pittsburgh claimed the first game, but New York answered with a shutout in the nightcap, winning the series on the strength of pitching precision and the quiet confidence of a team that knows how to close.
