Poor defense, coupled with a display of power from the New York Yankees, led to an 11-5 Pirates loss Saturday at PNC Park.
The Pirates continued to feel the repercussions of Starling Marte’s PED suspension as well as the lack of a true fourth outfielder on the roster. Jose Osuna started in right field Friday, and his error led to a run. John Jaso played there Saturday and found himself caught in between on a shallow liner that ended up driving in two runs. Their defense in general cost them runs in the eighth inning.
With two outs, Felipe Rivero got Austin Romine to ground to second, but Adam Frazier bobbled it.
