McCutchen flies out as the Bucs go meekly in the 5th. 5-0 Cards.

But in all my years of watching the Pirates, I can't remember a single game where they overcame a big deficit. I'm sure it's happened. I guess there was that game when they scored seven in the bottom of the ninth. I think Giles hit a walk-off grand slam. But beyond that, I don't remember a decent-sized comeback from the Pirates.

Lately, and I mean since 2016, the Bucs offense has been wanting. Mounting comebacks with the line-ups they’ve put on the field have been nearly nonexistent. Overcoming even a three run lead is a big surprise around here.

Bolton's 3rd walk of the inning. What a great acquisition. ::)

Memo to Pirate Management:
Bolton is not ready for Prime Time

Bolton walks the bases loaded then strikes out Gorman. Still 5-0 Cards in bottom of the 6th.
