Pirates drop first game of Tigers doubleheader, 3-2

As Pirates play-by-play guy Greg Brown remarked, this one hurt.

After gaining a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning, two Bucs errors, one by someone from whom such behavior is not expected, cost them not only the lead, but the win, as the Detroit Tigers gained the 3-2 victory at Comerica Field.

Before we dive into the AUUUGHH, let’s look at the WOO HOO of the game, namely starter Dillon Peters, who has yet to give up a run this year. Let’s also mention that he’s gone 16.2 innings and has only dealt up two hits.
