CHICAGO -- Reflecting on the performance, each of Yoshi Tsutsugo's failed at-bats Monday at Wrigley Field stung a little deeper for the Pirates.
In the second inning, he failed to get a runner home from third base with less than two outs. In the fourth, he grounded out to strand a runner on base.. In the seventh and ninth, he batted leadoff, but failed to get anything going.
Those missed opportunities played a role in the Pirates' 3-2 loss to the Cubs Monday.
It's been a rough season for Tsutsugo, who is slashing .
