Thursday afternoon went bad for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Actually, it went really, really bad. The Pirates had to play a one game makeup in Denver against the Colorado Rockies and they were crushed 11-5 by the Rockies.
After this loss, the Pittsburgh Pirates are now 32-28 overall on the year which is still good for the second National League Wild Card spot. Jeff Locke had nothing for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday afternoon, and this was brutally obvious beginning with the first inning.
