Pittsburgh Pirates Fireballer Paul Scanses are producing stellar numbers during their Sophomore season, even though their win-loss record is not among them.
Pittsburgh’s Panchles Crime has played an important role in that department, given that nine out of nine of his 14 runs in this season.
Scan (4-6, 1.88 ERA) and visiting pires seek better results on Friday afternoon when they play a second competition of four-market chains against the Chicago cub.
The cub claimed the series opener 3–2 on Thursday. Pete Crow-Armestrong gave a belt to a two-run homer, Sia Suzuki added a single shot and Jameson Tillan threw the 6 1/3 strong innings to expand his winning streak in five matches.
For Crow-Amstrong, it was the 18th Homer of his team season and the second in four matches against Pittsburgh.
“He has received a lot of energy. It seems that he has found a lot of fans in the city of Chicago, and is worthy of it,” Tillan said about Cro-Armstrong. “… he is one of those who are coming in that year that our lineup should be really good, and if he just plays good defense and steals the bases, we are going to be a good team. He is definitely more than those expectations.”
Like the Talel, the scans have also provided strong pitching throughout the season-but the second year pirates have not much to show it for it.
In the case, the scans were saddened on Sunday, despite allowing one run on two hits in 7 2/3 innings against the visiting Philadelphia Philos of Philadelphia Philos on Sunday. It marked the beginning of the 11th quality of the season for the 2024 National League Rukie of the Year.
“I think we are now playing a little ball and either have not come out with either (victory) or have lost by a run or something like that in some games,” Shiks said. “I am happy with the baseball we are playing. Finally it is good to win some of it.”
Unfortunately, for the scans, his latest encounter against the cub did not take place so well.
The 23-year-old scan scored three runs on five hits-three solo homers-on May 8-3 with four walking travels in five innings during a domestic shock of 8-3. He is 2–1 with 2.88 ERA in five career performances (all started) against the cub.
Chicago promising crooks will counter right-handed Cad Horton (3–1, 4.11 ERA). He will make his seventh career outing (sixth beginning) and first appearance vs. Pittsburgh.
The 23-year-old Horton suffered his first loss on Sunday after giving season-hai four runs on seven hits in five innings of 4–0 road shock to Detroit Tigers.
“Fastball execution was not there,” said Horton. “Gave them quick speed and it just came down for fastball execution … try to make the next pitch and I was not able to do so. It happens.”
