The Pirates may be allergic to winning baseball games.
Our beloved Buccos lost their eighth consecutive game, extending their season-long losing streak, in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Nationals in the series opener.
Today’s loss also marks nine consecutive road losses, with their last road win coming May 20 against the Braves.
Tonight, it looked promising when Kevin Newman got the Pirates on the board first with a homer in the second inning.
However, the Nats responded with two runs in the third on RBI’s from Kyle Schwarber and Juan Soto.
The third was JT Brubaker’s only inning in which he gave up a hit, as he went five innings tonight.
