On Monday night, just about everything that could go wrong for the Pittsburgh Pirates did. In a 12-4 loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team struggled with runners in scoring position, Elias Diaz had a big defensive folly, and the bullpen imploded.
Part of the bullpen implosion comes with an asterisk, though. This is because righty Nick Burdi was pitching with an injury starting to form. After allowing a home run in the 7th inning and three straight hits to start the 8th inning, Burdi exited the game after throwing a pitch to Jarrod Dyson and falling to his knees in pain.
