Kyle Keller on to finish it up.

Nogowski moves to right field, Michael Perez comes in to play first.

Nothing mentioned what the issue is, but as they pondered in the booth, hopefully it has nothing to due with Evans.

I'm so glad they got rid of that nest they had the Parrot sitting in from time to time

Keller strikes them out in order, and gets a called strike three on a 12 pitch at bat from Acuna Jr.

Congrats to Chase DeJong for his first win as a Pirate

IDK what play it was or when, but in Shelton's post game presser, he said Evans hit his head and went into concussion protocol

I totally get that. Of all the Pirates who routinely fail miserably, Polanco is the most tenured. He's the one who has had the most chances to improve and the one who has demonstrated the most that he cannot do better. When the other failures play in his place, we can always hope they will turn it around. but when Polanco plays, his incompetence is etched in stone.

Yep. It's frustration, hopelessness, anger, and a depressing feeling all at once when I see he's in the line-up.

After that shaky first inning, he did quite well

The 1st was shaky, but also impressive. To hold the Braves to 1 run completely changed the game. Had the Braves gotten one more hit, they could have knocked him out in the 1st with 3 or more runs.
