Always tough to see a late rally fall short, especially when it could turn around a losing streak the size of Texas. The meat of the order continues to hit decently, while the 6 through 9 spots does not. Neil Walker, Andrew McCutchen, and Lastings Milledge all had a pair of hits, while Jones and Tabata each contributed 1. Walker, Cutch, Jones, and Milledge each had an RBI, while Tabata and Walker combined to score 3 runs. After the 5th spot, however, the batting continues to be sterile. The 6-9 spots were responsible for all but 1 of the Pirates 9 Ks and had just 1 hit, an Andy LaRoche pinch-hit double that probably should have been caught by the CF. Pedro had a particularly difficult time, striking out 3 times. He'll get better as the season wears on. Ross Ohlendorf still does not have a win.
And so the streak moves to 11. Maybe a rivalry series against the slightly less sucky Indians will break it.
