Derek Shelton said he didn't sleep much after Friday's game against the Brewers.
The decision to keep Cam Vieaux out there for the eighth was weighing on him. The rookie lefty was going to be the last pitcher the Pirates used that day because the game was a blowout. It ended up taking him 56 pitches to get through the inning, the most for any Pirate pitcher in an inning since at least 1988, when those records started to be kept.
"Hopefully, I’ll never be put in that situation again because it’s probably been one of the most challenging situations," Shelton said before Saturday's game.
