The Pittsburgh Pirates lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks and fell into a two-game losing streak.

Pittsburgh lost 3-8 in the 2023 Major League (MLB) Arizona Diamondbacks match at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on the 22nd (Korean time).

Pittsburgh recorded 24-22, giving up the lead to the Milwaukee Brewers (25-21) and coming down to second place in the Central Division of the National League.

Pittsburgh, which was trailing 1-3, balanced in the bottom of the 5th inning. In 1st, 1st and 3rd base, Tucupita Marcano hit a double at the right time with 2 RBIs.

However, in the beginning of the 6th inning, he gave up the score with a series of mistakes.

In the top of the 6th, Pittsburgh third baseman Kybrian Hayes made a throwing error, and Christian Walker went to second base.

In the ensuing first out and second base, Arizona’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr. stopped while releasing his bat when Pittsburgh pitcher Douri Moreta’s slider dug into his body.토토사이트

The ball hit by Gurriel Jr.’s half swing rolled slowly towards the third baseman. After catching the batted ball, Moretta hurriedly threw the ball to first base, but the throw was too high. Walker, who was on second base, took advantage of an error and came home.

Arizona, who picked a lucky point thanks to the opponent’s mistake, tied up Ketel Marte’s timely hit and Walker’s two RBIs and doubles in the top of the 7th to add up 3 runs and split the game.

Arizona starter Merrill Kelly was somewhat shaken with 3 hits, 4 strikeouts, 2 walks and 3 runs (2 earned runs) in 5 innings, but thanks to the support of the other line, she harvested her 5th win (3 losses) of the season.

Bae Ji-hwan, who scored 5 hits in the last 3 games, kept the bench throughout the game. Bae Ji-hwan has a batting average of 0.254 (31 hits in 122 bats) with 2 home runs and 12 RBIs.
