Reynolds HR in top of the first. Quintana allows a single in the bottom half.
Mitchell with a 2 out double in front of family in his home town, but nothing doing.
Heineman catching, I wonder if Shelton read my post about giving him a couple series as the lead man to see if he hits better.

Too many old guys probably asleep, too many young guys probably having fun.
Then there's me. Got this started late because I was binging the new season of Stranger Things.

Heineman not taking advantage of his opportunities so far, 0-12 as a Pirate

An error by VanMeter, and a 3 run HR allowed by Crowe, 2 of the runs, unearned, charged to Quintana, and the Pirates once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Watched the first 4 innings. Watching the replay this morning. Great job by VanMeter to forget to step on 1B to take a throw. VanMeter just never ceases to amaze. No wonder Shelton loves him so much.
And of course Shelton looks for any reason to make a pitching change. Quintana holds SD scoreless into the 6th but gives up a lead off single. Gets Machado on an infield popup and gets Hosmer to dribble one that Heineman throws in time to 1B and gets the out call until it's realized that Shelton's love child forgot to stand on 1B to take the throw. But this is actually good news to Shelton because he was looking for any excuse to pull Quintana. And 2 runners on base, regardless of why that is, is the perfect excuse. So in comes Crowe and 2 batters later it's a 3-run HR and goodbye lead. And, oh by the way, the 3-run HR was by Luke Voit, hitting .198 and who struck out in both his previous ABs against Quintana. Good thing Shelton was smart enough to pull Quintana because someone reached on an error.

Defeats like last night's always are the worst kind for me: take an early lead, hold onto it until the late innings, and then lose it at the end. I'll take a 15-0 drubbing over that kind of loss anytime.
