Just a day after we posted our article praising JT Brubaker’s performance in May, he reverted back to his April version. Brubaker was rocked for eight hits in four innings along with six runs, five of them earned, to go along with one walk and three strikeouts, which wasted a decent performance at the plate for the Pittsburgh Pirates in an 8-6 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Pittsburgh pounded out 10 hits, including Ke’Bryan Hayes’ second homer of the year, which was a three-run shot that came in the ninth inning to make a formerly 8-3 score a bit more respectable.
