The Pittsburgh Pirates are now 22-26 this season. This comes after walloping the Atlanta Braves by a score of 9-4 on Thursday afternoon. With the victory, the Pirates split their 4 game series against the Braves at Suntrust Park.
This series is one the Pittsburgh Pirates easily could have won. For a variety of different reasons, the Pirates should have been victorious on Tuesday night. However, they lost in extra innings. That said, it was very encouraging to see them bounce back with back-to-back wins to capture a series split.
In the top of the 2nd inning, the Pittsburgh Pirates blew this game wide open and never looked back.
