Pirates lose ninth straight with 9-1 defeat to Cardinals

Sorry for the late recap. I wasn’t exactly in a rush to talk about this mess, and there’s not much good to say about this one.

The Pittsburgh Pirates wrapped up their Tuesday doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals with a 9-1 defeat in which the Buccos were one-hit. It’s Pittsburgh’s ninth straight defeat.

In addition to bad (read: non-existent) hitting, the performance on the mound was equally as bad, with the Cards lighting up Bryse Wilson for seven runs in the first two innings. He did make it through the Shelton Five, finishing with five innings pitched, seven earned runs on 10 hits with a single walk and three strikeouts.
