Game Recap:

The Pirates Gold saw their season end on Monday in a must-win game and unearned runs were the difference. Victor Cabreja started and went 2.2 innings, with two hits, no walks and five strikeouts, but three unearned runs scored against him in the 6-3 loss. Keneth Quintanilla had five strikeouts and one run allowed in 3.2 innings. Luis Gonzalez gave up two runs (one earned) in 1.1 frames. Wilkin Valdez had 1.1 scoreless. Tony Blanco Jr homered in this game, his second playoff homer. He also hit a regular season homer last week that got wiped away due to the game ending before it was official. Yordany De Los Santos reached base four times on a single and three walks. He also stole a base. The Pirates had nine walks and two hit batters, but they went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
