Pirates Offense Vanishes in 8-0 Loss to Phillies
Description
The Pittsburgh Pirates were completely overmatched by Cristopher Sánchez in an 8-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The offense finished with only four hits, Bryan Reynolds’ 34-game on-base streak ended and Marcell Ozuna struck out three times.
Jim and Tyler discuss why Bubba Chandler pitched much better than his final line, Don Kelly’s decision to leave him in during the seventh inning and another disastrous performance from the Pirates bullpen. They also discuss Esmerlyn Valdez reaching base three times, the lineup’s continued struggles against left-handed pitching and Wednesday’s Paul Skenes versus Zack Wheeler matchup.
