The Pittsburgh Pirates’ losing streak is getting longer.
Pittsburgh suffered a 2-8 defeat in a home game against the 2023 Major League Toronto Blue Jays held at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on the 7th (Korean time).
Toronto starter Jose Berrios was tied up with good pitching. Berrios became the winning pitcher with two runs in 6⅓ innings. On the other hand, Pittsburgh starter Yohan Oviedo collapsed with 6 runs in 5 innings.
The Toronto lineup recorded multi-hits by 6 people. Even without center hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr., it was strong. Pittsburgh had just five hits.
Toronto coach John Schneider praised Berios for his good pitching, saying, “His fastball would have been the best this year.” On the other hand, Pittsburgh coach Derek Shelton said, “We have to find a rhythm. “We have been inconsistent over the past six games.”
Of course, coach Shelton believes that “our players know they can hit.” However, after stepping on the first 20 wins in the National League Central District, it is in a swamp of 6 consecutive losses.
Pittsburgh, which defeated Washington 16-1 on the 30th of last month, later suffered a 2-7 defeat to Washington and lost all three matches against Tampa Bay. Toronto has already lost two of its three home matches.메이저놀이터
Oviedo, the starter who suffered the defeat on this day, has not been able to win three consecutive games since winning his second win of the season in Colorado on the 20th of last month. “I haven’t been able to throw my slider the way I want in the last three games,” he said.
