CHICAGO — It’s tough to know what to make of Bryse Wilson at the moment.
Perhaps because of the way he started the season, limping out to an 8.29 ERA in his first nine outings of the year, there’s a slight sense that at any moment he may fall apart again.
Take Tuesday’s start in a 4-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs as a perfect example. He got rocked in the first inning, allowing a one-out, bloop single then three straight well-struck doubles to give up three runs in his first five batters faced. For a Pirates team that has struggled to score runs consistently, that’s a troubling way to get out of the gates.
