Following a 9-5 loss against the San Diego Padres on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Pirates are now 26-20 this season. This was the team’s third consecutive loss, and just the second series they have lost at PNC Park this season.
While losing a series to the Padres at PNC Park comes as no surprise – the Friars have only ever lost two series at PNC Park – it is still a disappointment. The Padres entered the series as one of the worst teams in the National League with a 17-28 record. Losing any series to a team that bad stings, it is even worse when that series loss comes at home.
