The Pirates drop the series to the Rangers with a 6-1 loss Thursday night. Bubba Chandler made his 5th start of the season and was hit hard in his worst start of the season. Chandler gave up six runs on two home runs before exiting after just four innings of work.
Oneil Cruz provided the only offense of the night as he belted his 8th home run of the season with a solo shot in the 5th inning and finished 1-for-4. That was the only extra-base hit of the game for the Pirates. Nick Gonzales had two hits and Konnor Griffin had a chance with bases loaded in the 6th inning against the Rangers bullpen, but Josh Jung made a diving stop at the line and threw Griffin out at first on a close play to end the inning. Jim and Neil broke it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti’s Bros which you can listen to or watch above.
