Don't really know what to say about this one. The Bucs battled back to tie the score in the 9th, only to allow Wil Ledezma and Joel Hanrahan load the bases in the 12th and Chris Snyder drop the force play at the plate for the winning run to come across. A failure of epic proportions. But I guess it's just SOP, as always.
Maholm had a pretty great start, sans a 3-run 3rd. He went 7.0 IP, allowing 6 H, 3 R/ER, 3 BB, and 0 HR. He had a pretty amazing 8 strikeouts, something he's not really known for. the rest of the pitching staff added 7 more Ks, for a grand total of 15. That's probably a season high and probably hasn't happened for the Pirates in a good long while, but I really don't care to look it up and find out.
Cutch, Tabata, and Doumit (in RF again, I don't know either) all went 2 for 5, and Alex Presley got another look, albeit as a Pinch Runner for the slow as molasses Doumit. Jones had a double, and Snyder had a solo homer in the 3rd. Neil Walker extended his hitting streak to a frankly amazing 16 games.
