Pirates Discussion: Break Before 11 Games in 10 Days
Pittsburgh Pirates kicked off the New York Mets series with an offensive outburst on Tuesday before running into a pitching buzzsaw.
In Wednesday’s double header it turned into a long reliever or depth starter audition that didn’t go well.
In game one of the double header the Mets didn’t wait long to get to Pirates opener, Duane Underwood Jr.
The first two batters of the game reached base on a single then a double putting runners on second and third with no outs. After Underwood struck out Francisco Lindor swinging, Jeff McNeil hit a sacrifice fly to center field for a 1-0 lead.
