The Pittsburgh Pirates were in action again Wednesday afternoon, falling to the Baltimore Orioles 7-4. Baltimore led the clubs in the hits department, powering their way to victory off Austin Hays’ second Spring Training long ball. Ryan Mountcastle’s grand slam made it a done deal in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Neither team had broken through before Connor Joe’s double plated Cal Mitchell, breaking the seal and giving Pittsburgh a 1-0 advantage.
In the bottom half of the inning, however, Hays’ long ball pushed the Orioles ahead before Mountcastle’s shot extended the lead to six.
