The Pittsburgh Pirates' bullpen blew a 10-3 lead against the Chicago Cubs to ultimately lose, 14-10, in a start where Paul Skenes was set up for an easy win.
The Pittsburgh Pirates had a brutal loss against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday afternoon, blowing a 10-3 lead late in the game to ultimately lose 14-10 at home. It was a day when Pirates phenom starter Paul Skenes was on the mound, and he let up just two runs on five hits, while striking out six over five innings of work. In the end, though, his bullpen couldn’t give him another win in his rookie season.
Aroldis Chapman, who replaced Nicolas, would make things even worse in the top of the eighth inning when he allowed three earned runs to make it 10-8. The Pirates shouldn’t have had to get closer David Bednar up in the bullpen, but after Chapman’s blowout inning, he needed to get warm to come in to hopefully close things out in the top of the ninth.
