The Pittsburgh Pirates look like they need a day off. Fortunately for Pirates fans, Thursday’s action will feature top prospects Paul Skenes and Bubba Chandler on the mound.
That might take the sting off the series sweep to the New York Mets, capped off with a 9-1 loss on Wednesday afternoon. Bailey Falter got the start, and fell in between his normal “Ace” or “Implosion” status. Falter allowed two runs on four hits in five innings, with a walk and four strikeouts. He left with a 2-1 score, and that’s when the wheels fell off.
