The Pirates’ offense continued to spin its wheels Wednesday as they wasted another quality start, losing to the Braves 2-1. The Bucs only scored two runs over the course of the three game Atlanta sweep.
Starter Trevor Williams made only one mistake on the night, and it came during the first batter of the game when Ronald Acuna drove a hanging changeup for a home run to left. After that, he settled in to six innings of one run ball, only allowing two hits and two walks while striking out four. He moved his fastball around the zone all night, resulting in seven whiffs on 49 four-seamers.
