Wilson shows he deserves more opportunities, but short leash remains

CHICAGO -- Ever since joining the Pirates at the trade deadline, the sixth inning has been the wall for Bryse Wilson, never pitching beyond that frame.

On Tuesday at Guaranteed Rate Field, he didn’t even get to complete it. After Wilmer Difo made a high throw from deep in the third base hole and then Eloy Jiménez dropped a base hit to right, Derek Shelton opted to bring in Chasen Shreve to try to get out of the inning.

The decision backfired. Both runners would go on to score and the White Sox beat the Pirates, 4-2.
