The Pittsburgh Pirates struggled for the second straight night in Chicago. Atleast this time the Pirates didn’t lose by more then ten runs, but it was still a pretty bad game. The Pirates were defeated by the White Sox 8-2 as the White Sox took a 2-0 lead in the three game series.
Tom Gorzelanny threw six innings while allowing five hits and four runs. Gorzelanny gave up four walks, struckout four, and gave up three home runs. Look at the four walks and the three home runs and you have your answer as to why the Pirates lost this game. Gorzelanny is now 5-6 on the season after taking the loss.
Tyler Yates pitched the last two innings of the game and threw the ball just as bad as Gorzelanny did. Yates gave up five hits and allowed four runs to cross the plate. Three of the four runs were earned.
Jose Bautista had a solo home run in the sixth inning to get the Pirates on the scoreboard. The second Pirates run came in the eighth inning when Luis Rivas single to center to score Bautista.
The Pirates will now try to avoid the three game sweep on Thursday. I have my doubts if they will get the job done.
