The Pittsburgh Pirates are now 20-26 this season. Following a 3 hour and 12 minute rain delay, the Pirates were walked off by the Atlanta Braves by a score of 6-5 on Tuesday night. The Pirates have now lost the first 2 games of this 4 game series.
The Pirates appeared to have this game won multiple times on Tuesday night. First, it did not appear the game would resume after the rain delay. Then, the Pirates had a lead with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning. However, leaving runners on base and struggles from Tony Watson would prove to be the undoing of the Pirates on Tuesday night.
