I’ve been watching baseball long enough to know that teams lose the last game of a series where it seems like they’ve just been steamrolling over the other team semi-regularly. It happens.
The Pirates, though, seem to be trying to make crashing and burning in final games into fine art.
Once again, the long ball was the harbinger of doom for the Bucs as the Nationals beat them this afternoon at PNC Park, 6-2.
Luis Garcia got the Nats Homer Party started in the second inning, drilling one into center field off Bryse Wilson in the first.
