Fire Away! Fielding Questions for Weekly Pirates Q&A

The Pittsburgh Pirates were defeated 8-3 by the Chicago Cubs in the rubber match of a three-game set at PNC Park on Thursday afternoon.

With the loss, the Pirates slipped to 12-20 and still sit in last place in the National League Central, where they have been for most of the season and everyday since Apr. 11.

The Pirates are in the midst of a six-game homestand and will welcome a good San Diego Padres team to Pittsburgh this weekend.

Additionally, Pirates owner Bob Nutting released a statement on the fan who was hospitalized after falling onto the field from the right field stands on Wednesday night.

“We are all deeply saddened and truly heartbroken after the terrible accident that occurred last night. It was one of the most difficult moments many of us have ever experienced. We are devastated. Pirates baseball is a community, and our fans are like family. In times like these, we must come together, support one another, and keep him and his loved ones in our prayers.”

“We also want to thank and appreciate the efforts of the first responders who rushed to his attention and provided him with compassionate care.”
