The Pirates led the visiting Detroit Tigers 3-1 on Tuesday when Bednar took the mound to start the ninth inning. Minutes later, the Pittsburgh native walked toward the dugout amid a chorus of boos after allowing four runs as the Pirates eventually fell 5-3.

Despite Yerry De Los Santos coughing up a run in the eighth, Bednar got the final five outs and sent his hometown crowd ecstatic.

9/14/23 The Pirates and the continuous merry-go-round of first basemen. David Bednar procures a chopper from pinch-hitter Keibert Ruiz to first baseman Alfonso Rivas. Too slow to get a double play, and the run scores, but at least you get an out somewhere, right? Rivas fields it cleanly in time to get Luis Garcia on his way to second, who does not run exceptionally well, but he hesitates. Now, more than halfway to second base, he turns and throws to David Bednar covering first.
