Summary

The Pirates dropped their fourth straight game with a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, putting a rough finish on what had been a promising month of April. Alex Stumpf breaks down the key late-game at-bats, why Marcelo Ozuna’s struggles are becoming harder to dismiss, and how his lack of production in the middle of the order is impacting an offense that has become too top-heavy.
