SAN FRANCISCO -- After Thairo Estrada drove Wil Crowe's sinker to left-center and rounded the bases at Oracle Park Sunday, the Pirates concluded what will go down as one of their most frustrating series and road trips of the season.
That walkoff homer was the final swing of an 8-7 loss to the Giants, concluding a 2-8 road trip where the Pirates were often in the game, but often fell short.
It's a point that has been brought up many times. The frequency of being close doesn't do much to quell those frustrations.
