The Pirates’ losing streak is at four after a shutout loss yesterday and a sweep by the Cardinals. Greg Brown has the recap.
Manager Derek Shelton appreciated the effort of starter Wil Crowe, who could not control anything but his fastball yesterday but still managed to keep the game close.
The Pirates play the Padres in San Diego tonight. Tyler Anderson will start for the Bucs but the Padres have not announced their starter. It will be a 9:45 airtime on WCCS, first pitch at 10:10.
The Pirates are rated as having one of the best minor league systems in baseball, and they have loaded their Altoona Curve roster with top prospects. Roansey Contreras will start tomorrow night’s opener against Bowie. He came from the Yankees in the Jameson Taillon trade. The lineup will feature highly-rated prospects Oneil Cruz at shortstop, Ji-Hwan Bae at second base, and slugger Mason Martin at first.
