Pirates Discussion: So Close, Yet So Far

Published:

After a late inning loss to the Nationals, the Pirates move to 10-9 in one run games.

Five of those 19 games have come in the last nine contests, with the Pirates going 2-3.

Pirates will try to end a four game losing streak, following the pounding they handed down to the Cubs, with Jose Quintana. The offense and bullpen have left a lot to be desired as of late, but Pirates overall have made the games more entertaining.

PIRATES @ NATIONALS

Time: 7:05 PM EST

Pirates Starter: Jose Quintana (1-4, 3.60)

Rays Starter: Patrick Corbin (3-10, 6.60)

Quintana Notes: Jose Quintana takes the bump for his 15th start of the campaign. After a rough three game stretch, Quintana got back on track against the lowly Cubs team, throwing six innings of two run ball. Nationals have a near league average offense, with a .701 Team OPS.

Lineups: Check back prior to the game.
