SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. – Mistakes are part of the game of baseball. They’re not always called errors, but no team goes a game without making a wrong move.
When you’re playing the best team in baseball, mistakes will cost you the game. That’s what happened tonight when the Pirates lost to the Rays 4-1.
“There’s not a lot of room for error,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said after the game. “We left 11 guys on base. We didn’t execute with runners in scoring position, and you just can’t do that.
The Pirates managed five hits, but had six walks.
