The Pittsburgh Pirates lost their fifth straight game on Tuesday night, falling to the Washington Nationals 3-1 after a sad display of hitting
The Buccos managed just six hits on the evening and struck out a whopping 13 times on the night. Despite that, a solid outing by Jose Quintana had the Pirates still tied 1-1 with the Nationals when Wil Crowe gave up a two-run double in the eighth to pinch-hitter Yadiel Hernandez that was just over the outstretched glove of Diego Castillo. A few steps faster, and Castillo might’ve gotten to this one.
