Ugly Play by Pirates Leads to 8-3 Loss on Sunday to the Diamondbacks

The Pittsburgh Pirates went into Sunday afternoon’s game at PNC Park with a chance to win a series over the Arizona Diamondbacks, who came into the weekend with a 25-19 record. They instead came away with an ugly loss that dropped them a game back of first place in the National League Central.

The Diamondbacks got on the board first when Corbin Carroll hit a solo homer in the first inning off of Roansy Contreras.

The Pirates tied this game in the second with a lot of help from Arizona pitcher Merrill Kelly.
