Pirates Minor League Report: Kervin Pichardo Takes Over

The Pirates suffered an organizational sweep on Sunday, with every team from the big leaguers on down suffering an ugly loss.

Triple-A Indianapolis managed just three hits in a 3-0 loss to the Nashville Sounds, with deadline acquisition Nick Yorke and Henry Davis among the few who reached base.

Shortstop Kervin Pichardo carried the day for Altoona, coming a triple shy of the cycle along with a walk and 5 RBI. That wasn’t enough to secure the win, though, as the Curve lost 9-8 to Portland.

Things didn’t go much better for Greensboro: the Grasshoppers lost 5-1 to Rome, with Termarr Johnson’s cold streak continuing after an 0-for-4 day.

Bradenton lost 6-3 to the St. Lucie Mets despite 19-year-0ld shortstop prospect Jhonny Severino’s first home run in affiliated ball.
