After coming up victorious yesterday, the Pittsburgh Pirates struggled Tuesday afternoon at LECOM Park, falling 10-9 to the Baltimore Orioles.
Newcomer Jose Quintana struggled in his first start of the spring, surrendering six runs to the Orioles through the first two innings — four coming in the first. He ended his day giving up six hits, including two doubles and a home run, and two walks while only striking out one.
The Pirates offense kept pace with Baltimore as the game evolved and it was kick-started by a four-run third inning highlighted by a home run by Ben Gamel.
