The Pirates’ offensive woes continued as they lost to Baltimore, 6-3. They’ve now lost ten of their last eleven, and they’re 0-7 against the AL East.
Johan Oviedo came in needing to bounce back from three bad starts. He sort-of got what he needed. It wasn’t pretty, but he managed to survive the first five innings without allowing a run. He threw just 44 of 86 pitches for strikes and walked five, but somehow made pitches when he had to, as the Orioles went 0-for-6 against him with RISP.
Oviedo reached the end of the line in the sixth when he gave up a triple and a walk to start the inning.
