A Major League Baseball season is often times like a roller coaster ride. Each team will experience ups and downs throughout the 162 game season. Right now, the Pittsburgh Pirates are experiencing their first downward swing of the season.
Following a 11-2 loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, the Bucs have now lost four games in a row to fall to 12-10 on the season. These four consecutive losses have come after the team won five games in a row. The ebbs and flows of baseball.
In Monday night’s blow out loss the Pirates wasted multiple opportunities to bust the game open early on before blowing a 4-1 lead and unraveling in the 7th and 8th innings.
