It feels surreal, but here we are on game 162 of the season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates had a chance to avoid 100 losses for another day, but couldn’t hold a lead against the St. Louis Cardinals.
In the bottom of the first inning, the Pirates took an early 1-0 lead on a Miguel Andújar ground out to third base.
JT Brubaker looked good through two innings keeping the Cardinals off the scoresheet. He was on a pitch limit for his final 2022 start, and would only last 2.2 innings on 47 pitches. With one out in the third and bases loaded, the Cardinals pushed across the tying run on a ground out of their own.
