Uncharacteristic Miscues End in Tough Loss For Pirates (+)

PITTSBURGH — Over the course of the Pirates seven-game winning streak, and really the start to the season as a whole, the team has played sound baseball.

The team’s starting pitching has been dominant of late. The defense has been mostly sharp and the Pirates had continued to come up with timely hitting.

That sound baseball came to an end on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and so did the Pirates’ winning streak.
