The Pittsburgh Pirates got off to a good start but couldn’t hold on to the good vibes in a 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in 10 innings on Friday night.
The Buccos got another great start by Jose Quintana, which was the final advertisement before Tuesday’s trade deadline. He went five and two thirds innings, giving up no runs on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks, helping Pittsburgh build up a 2-0 lead.
Greg Allen doubled home Kevin Newman in the third and Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth for the Buccos, but the bottom fell out shortly after.
