Pirates Prospect Watch: Keiner Delgado Homers for Marauders

Pirates’ minor league affiliates picked up two wins in three attempts on Wednesday… although the biggest news regarding the farm system was Paul Skenes’ promotion to the big league club.

Triple-A Indianapolis lost 4-3 to the Louisville Bats, taking a 3-2 lead in the middle innings that vanished because of a pair of runs allowed late in the game.

The Altoona Curve picked up a 3-0 win with Pirates’ general manager Ben Cherington in attendance, riding five shutout innings from Graham Ashcraft to victory.

The Greensboro Grasshoppers dealt with a rainout, and they’ll take part in a doubleheader on May 9 to make it up. Single-A Bradenton pulled off a 3-2 walk off win, scoring one run apiece in the eighth and ninth innings to secure victory.
