Pittsburgh Pirates Episodes

24 consecutive scoreless innings, shut out in 3 of the last 4 games with only 2 runs scored, and 2 quality starts wasted (Bido and Oviedo). This is getting silly.

The Pirates lose to the Cubs, 8-3, swept at home. They've lost 3 straight series, all sweeps, for 9 straight defeats.

Pirates bullpen wastes a quality start by Keller, gives up a late home run in a loss, 6-4, to Miami. Henry Davis hits his first Major League Homer in loss.

Pirates end losing streak against the Marlins, winning in the 9th with 3 runs, 3-1. Ortiz throws a great game and Bednar notches his 15th save. Nick Gonzales makes his MLB debut.

The Pirates pitching continues to shine, but it's too little, too late for the bats as they fall, 4-3, to the Marlins.
