Following poor 1-6 start to the season the Pittsburgh Pirates had an opportunity to get back to .500 and sweep a doubleheader on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the team would come up short against the Detroit Tigers.
After securing a victory in game one of Wednesday doubleheader, scoring early in game two and having Miguel Yajure impressing in his debut, it seemed as if the Pittsburgh Pirates were on their way sweeping Wednesday’s doubleheader.
