Tough Loss in Extra Innings for the Pirates 😓

What a rollercoaster of emotions today, folks. The Pirates put up a valiant fight but ultimately fell to the Padres 9-8 in a nail-biting 10 innings.

Strong Start but Padres Answer Back 🙌

Andrew McCutchen and Bryan Reynolds both struck out in the first inning, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Rowdy Tellez came up big, giving us a 2-0 lead. Ke'Bryan Hayes and Yasmani Grandal also contributed, making it 3-1 Pirates by the end of the 2nd inning.

Pirates Battle Despite Struggles 💪

The Padres didn't go quietly, with Jackson Merrill homering twice. Despite that, our boys fought back. Andrew McCutchen hit a bomb in the 4th inning, and he drove in more runs in the 6th to give us a brief lead, 6-5.

Heartbreak in Extra Innings 💔

We tied it up in the 9th inning after Bryan Reynolds walked, scoring Oneil Cruz. The game extended into the 10th, where the Padres managed to score three more runs. A wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th allowed Michael A. Taylor to score, but we couldn't complete the comeback.

Final Thoughts 😤

Despite the loss, there were some positives. Isiah Kiner-Falefa continued to show his prowess, and Andrew McCutchen looked in vintage form. Let's regroup and come back stronger next game!

Buccos forever! 🏴‍☠️
