The Pittsburgh Pirates had to wait a few hours in a lengthy rain delay before they faced the Houston Astros at PNC Park, but suffered a swift defeat, 8-2.
Pittsburgh beat Houston in the previous game, 3-0 on June 4, but dropped the first game of the series to Houston, 3-0 on June 3, making this another series defeat.
This makes it four losses in the past six game for the Pirates, who also dropped their last series on the road vs. the San Diego Padres.
The Pirates fall to 23-40 overall and 14-18 at home with this defeat to the Astros, who improve to 34-28 and 12-16 on the road.
A rain delay moved first pitch from 6:40 p.m. to 10:02 p.m., a three hour and 22 minute delay, the longest of the season for the Pirates.
The Pirates will look to get back to winning ways, as they host their in-state foe, the Philadelphia Phillies, this weekend at PNC Park. Tonight’s radio pregame begins at 6:15pm EDT on WESB Sports/B107.5FM.
