It was another ugly one for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as the bottom is beginning to fall out of the season with an 18-4 defeat at the hands of division rival St. Louis Cardinals.
A week ago, the Bucs were actually just a few games out of a playoff spot, but following back-to-back series with the Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs, they’re back to looking like one of the worst teams in baseball.
The Buccos went through five pitchers yesterday, and each and every one of them gave up at least a run, including seven from starter Bryse Wilson in just one and two-thirds innings pitched.
