The Pittsburgh Pirates failed to support Paul Skenes, losing a close game to the St. Louis Cardinals.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates got a great performance from rookie starter Paul Skenes, but failed to support him, losing 2-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night at PNC Park.
Left fielder Bryan Reynolds would walk to put two runners on and Lynn would throw a wild pitch over catcher Wilson Contreras, allowing the runners to move up a base. Shortstop Oneil Cruz worked a full count and then walked to load the bases. Cardinals left-handed reliever John King pitched a perfect sixth inning, but gave up a single to Pirates pinch hitter Connor Joe, leading to a bullpen change.
Gonzales then came through the clutch, taking the first pitch and hitting it for a single into center field, scoring Cruz from second base to tie it at 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning.Ke'Bryan Hayes came into pinch-hit for Tellez, but Cardinals right-handed reliever Ryan Fernandez got him to hit into a double-play to end the inning.
