The West Coast has been good to the Pittsburgh Pirates this week. Following victories over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Monday and Tuesday night, the Pirates earned their first series victory in over a month. Unfortunately, the team could not complete the sweep.
More poor defense and another bullpen hiccup led to the Pirates losing 7-4 on Wednesday night. With the loss, the team is now 6-25 since the All-Star Break and 50-70 overall this season.
Early on, things looked good for the Pirates. Angels starting pitcher Dillon Peters got some help from his defense in the 1st inning, but still helped to gift wrap a pair of Pirate runs.
