The Pirates haven’t lost a game that conclusively in about three weeks.
While watching the 7-2 loss to the Nationals on Sunday, I had plenty of time to think about how rare these types of games have been this year.
The Pirates lost 7-0 to Houston on April 12th, although a lot of those runs were scored late. They haven’t had a loss like today’s since April 10th, when Houston went up 7-2 after four innings, before adding one more run in their win.
Today, Washington put up seven runs against Johan Oviedo on nine hits in 2.
