The Pirates’ losing streak goes on, as the Bucs lost in Washington last night.
Greg Brown has the details.
Pirates manager Derek Shelton liked what he saw from his starter, JT Brubaker.
Shortstop Kevin Newman hopes last night’s home run is an indication that he’s ready to break out of a season-long slump after a record-breaking hot streak in spring training.
Shelton said first baseman Colin Moran is day-to-day for his return to the lineup after suffering back spasms on Sunday.
A couple of lefties match up for the second game of the series tonight in Washington, with the Pirates starting Tyler Anderson (3-6, 4.52 ERA) against the Nationals’ Patrick Corbin (3-5, 6.21 ERA). 6:40 airtime on WCCS.
The Pirates’ Adam Frazier is in second place in National League All-Star voting for second base, behind the Braves’ Ozzie Albies. Frazier is at 12 percent to Albies’ 17 percent. Phase 1 of the voting ends June 24th, with the top three at each position making it to Phase 2, plus the top 15 in the outfield.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of Toronto leads all players in the All-Star voting so far.
