The Pittsburgh Pirates were defeated by the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday afternoon. With the loss, the Pirates are now 33-40 on the season and 6 games out of first place in the National League Central.
This series was a big missed opportunity for the Pittsburgh Pirates. After winning the first two games, they had a great shot to make up ground on the first place Brewers this week. They appeared well on their way to doing that when Wednesday night they were 7 outs away from victory. However, they failed to finish off Wednesday night’s game and were defeated on Thursday afternoon.
