The Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the visiting New York Yankees Saturday afternoon by a final of 11-5.
The Bucs jumped out to a 3-0 lead after five innings, but faltered soon after. In addition to the defensive woes in Saturday’s losing effort, the Pirates’ batting order struck out a combined ten times and left ten runners on base. However, Andrew McCutchen finished with one home run, two walks, and two RBI.
The Pirates and Yankees close out their three game series Sunday afternoon at PNC Park, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35pm. You can catch all of the action, starting with pregame coverage on WISR 680AM. Ivan Nova is likely to get the nod as today’s starting pitcher for the Pirates.
