The Pirates bullpen fell apart in the seventh inning yesterday, and it cost them the game in the series finale against Arizona.
Joe Block has the story.
Manager Derek Shelton says JT Brubaker had an uo-and-down performance, but kept the Bucs in the game.
Shelton says Yerry De Los Santos had the D-Backs where he wanted them in the seventh inning, but failed to make the pitches he needed.
The ten-game road trip continues tonight with the start of a three-game series in San Francisco. Pirates right-hander Bryse Wilson [2-6, 5.86 ERA] faces Giants lefty Carlos Rodon [10-6, 2.95 ERA]. It’s a 9:50 airtime, a 10:15 first pitch on WCCS.
Cherished mementos owned by former Pirates center fielder Omar Moreno will be auctioned off this weekend, including his 1979 World Series ring, a warmup jacket he wore that season, and the glove he used to catch the final out of the Game 7 victory by the Bucs in Baltimore. The sale also includes a 1985 World Series ring won as a member of the Kansas City Royals. The proceeds will benefit the Omar Moreno Foundation, which aids underprivileged children in his native Panama through after-school programs and baseball.
The auction will be conducted online at robertedwardsauctions.com , with final bids due by 9 PM Sunday and the winning bids announced before midnight that night.
ALTOONA CURVE
Altoona won its third straight game, scoring two runs in the top of the ninth inning on RBI singles by Jared Triolo and Endy Rodriguez to beat Binghamton last night, 8-6. Triolo had two hits, including a double. Liover Peguero and Blake Sabol each had two hits, and first baseman Aaron Shackelford homered for the fourth straight game. Starter Quinn Priester allowed two runs over five innings with eight strikeouts. Colin Sleby got the win, working two innings and allowing one run on two hits.
The Curve will look to make it four straight tonight. They’ve not announced a starter.
