The Pittsburgh Pirates are raising the jolly roger once again after a 5-3 win to close their four-game set against the Washington Nationals.
With the win, the Pirates won their first series of 2022 and improve to 5-4 on the young season.
However, for most of the game, it didn’t seem like this was going to be the outcome.
The Nats held the Pirates scoreless through six innings and tacked on three runs in the second inning off starting pitcher Jose Quintana.
Outside of the lousy second inning, Quintana looked sharp and handed the ball to Wil Crowe in the fifth inning.
