Another one got away from the Pirates this afternoon.
Colin Moran’s two homers and a late no-doubter from Bryan Reynolds weren’t enough for the Bucs, who suffered yet another series sweep as they fell to the Cardinals 7-6 at PNC Park.
The Cards went up early in the first inning, as Dylan Carlson singled, then stole second as the Bucs infield did, oh, NOTHING to stop it. That put him in prime scoring position for Nolan Arenado’s double. The Bucs, however, answered back in their half of the inning. Ke’Bryan Hayes doubled, Jacob Stallings walked, and Redbeard smacked one deep into the right field stands to give the Bucs a 3-1 lead.
