With Tuesday’s loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Pittsburgh Pirates fall to 4th place in the NL Central.
The game looked like it was going to get out of hand quickly in the bottom of the first when the Cubs used four consecutive hits to push across three runs with only one out. Bryse Wilson was able to then tighten it up and only allow two more hits and a walk the rest of the way. Wilson completed six innings while only giving up the three earned runs.
Wilson has actually been able to complete six or more innings in three of his last four starts while allowing eleven runs, only eight of which have been earned.
