Alexa, what are synonyms for awful? Pirates 6, Phillies 4

That may have been one of the worst baseball games I have ever watched. There was poor defense, poor pitching, poor clutch hitting (what else is new?), poor base running, and poor managing. Oh, and the home plate umpire was pretty bad too. All of that resulted in a 6-4 ten inning game that the Pirates won simply by being slightly less awful than the Phillies.

One of the few bright spots on the day was starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez. He had some issues with hitting batters (three on the day) but didn’t allow a hit in his five innings of work.
