Another Pirates road trip is in the books. This week, the Bucs took on the New York Mets for three games and Baltimore Orioles for two more away from PNC Park. What could have been a smooth sailing, 4-1 swing, ended up being a “blah” 2-3 swing, with two gut-wrenching losses at the end.
The trip started with a bang Friday night at Citi Field. The Pirates offense picked up a reeling Gerrit Cole by putting together one of it’s finest performances of the season in a wild 12-7 win over the Mets.
The next night was not a happy one.
