PHOENIX — Teams don’t win many games when they allow seven runs in an inning.
Not rocket science, exactly, but if the Pirates needed a reminder, they got it in a 9-3 loss Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
It started with right-hander Chase De Jong on the mound, trying to get through his second inning of work and cling to a 3-2 lead. Spoiler alert: He didn’t.
