Pittsburgh Pirates Drop a Close Game to the Marlins
The Pirates were defeated by the Marlins Saturday night, losing a close game to the score of 3-4. A strong outing from Dario Agrazal was squandered by Hurdle’s fast trigger finger and a quieted offense.
Coming off a strong win against the Marlins on Friday, the Pirates looked to stay hot against the Marlins, who are perhaps the weakest team in the League. The pregame match-up for the Pirates looked strong for two reasons. First, the Pirates lineup looked intimidating and far better than the Marlins lineup. With the addition of rehabbed Corey Dickerson, Kevin Newman performing strongly in the lead off spot, and a hot Colin Moran – the Pirates looked strong 1-9 on the lineup card.
