That was the most remarkable inning I have ever seen in person. 5:24 PM: Paul Skenes pulled in the 5th after allowing two hits. 6-1 PIT. 5:26: Kyle Nicolas comes in and gets two quick outs. 5:28: HBP loads the bases. 5:29: 4 pitch BB. 6-2 PIT 5:31: 4 pitch BB. 6-3 PIT 5:33: 4…
Yasmani Grandal, three-run homer. The Pirates are back in front, 9-8. Their fourth home run of the game. This game makes zero sense right now.
the Cubs’ 6 bases-loaded walks in the 5th are 2 more than any other team has drawn in an inning in at least the last 50 seasons
Grandal puts the Pirates back ahead with a three-run homer to right. The fifth inning chaos continues. Bucs lead 9-8.
Pirates really walked in 6 runs in one inning 😭 https://t.co/YI4l0p9UvG
The nightmare Pirates 5th inning went hit by pitch, walk, walk, walk, walk, infield single, walk, walk. All with two outs The Cubs were down 6-1 and now lead 8-6 https://t.co/G8HE2FVTwq
I've seen a lot of bad baseball in 37 years of covering the sport in Pittsburgh (Baseball Siberia) but I've never seen a team have five bases-loaded walks in one inning. Even by the Pirates' standards, that is amazing.
The top of the fifth is finally over. Cubs lead 8-6. Six of their eight runs were walked home.
Pirates walk in a run immediately after the rain delay https://t.co/xEijEM5s7W
