BALTIMORE -- Following the Pirates' 2-0 loss to the Orioles Saturday at Camden Yards, Derek Shelton did something he doesn't normally do. He held a group meeting.
The Pirates manager isn't big on group speeches, often doing most of his business in smaller group settings or individually. But the team had just suffered their 11 loss in 12 games, this time wasting a strong outing from Roansy Contreras because the offense was once again vapid. Just once did they have multiple runners on base and they were held to only three hits.
