Pirates bats silenced by Quintana

Baseball Podcast Network

The Pirates wasted another tremendous outing from a starter on Thursday night as they fell to the Cubs 2-0. Joe Musgrove put together his second consecutive dazzling outing, but was out-dueled by Chicago southpaw Jose Quintana, who struck out 11 over seven shutout innings prior to a 69-minute rain delay. Here are some takeaways from the contest, which saw the Bucs fall to 6-5. Defensive woes continue for the Pirates: When Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman committed three errors in the same inning on Monday in defeat you at least thought the team had maybe rid the bug from their system. Unfortunately, that’s not the case as the infield defense continued to haunt the Pirates last night.
