If the Pittsburgh Pirates didn’t call up Will Craig prior to tonight’s game against the Giants, we very likely would have seen another shutout.
Luckily Craig did get the call-up from AAA and the start tonight at first, but the rest of the Pirates couldn’t get on the board, resulting in a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Giants to start the four-game weekend set.
Another Wil (drop the second L), last name Crowe, got the start on the mound tonight for the Buccos and pitched four scoreless innings before getting into trouble in the fifth inning.
