Pirates pull off a bold move, sending infielder Nick Gonzales to the DH spot against the Dodgers — his first time in that role — to unleash his elite bat while sidelining his shaky defense. Gonzales, a top hitter with a hot streak and clutch power, gets the cleanup spot behind key bats, maximizing offensive firepower. The Pirates sacrifice fielding at third for Jared Triolo’s defensive prowess, turning a lineup tweak into a strategic win. This isn’t just about one player — it’s about optimizing every at-bat against a tough opponent.
