PATHETIC! Pirates Bullpen Blows Another One in 9-7 Loss To Reds
from North Shore Nine: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast · host North Shore Nine
The Pittsburgh Pirates were one strike away from turning an entertaining, back-and-forth game into one of their best wins of the season. Instead, Gregory Soto allowed a three-run homer in the ninth inning, wasting Esmerlyn Valdez’s go-ahead pinch-hit homer and sending the Pirates to a brutal 9-7 loss against the Cincinnati Reds. Jim and Doug break down another failure from the Pirates bullpen, the defensive mistakes that hurt Jared Jones, Brandon Lowe’s 20th home run, Endy Rodriguez’s continued impact and the baffling way the team has handled Carmen Mlodzinski.
