Pirates blow lead versus Cubs, fall 6-5
The Pittsburgh Pirates blew an early lead against the Chicago Cubs on Friday night, came back to tie the game, then blew it again in true Bucco fashion, falling 6-5 to the Cubbies for their eighth straight defeat.
Bryan Reynolds got things started early for Pittsburgh with an RBI single, but that Bucco lead was quickly evaporated on a two-run homer the following inning by Patrick Wisdom off of starter Bryse Wilson.
Wilson actually had a solid night, going five innings, giving up just those two runs, while scattering five hits and three walks in addition to punching out five.
