Summary
The Pirates’ season is unraveling in Denver, where they’ve lost two brutal one-run games despite having the bases loaded in both. In Saturday’s 2-1 defeat, a controversial interference call on Billy Cook ended the game in the bottom of the ninth — with the bases loaded and two outs — sealing their fate. Cook initially disputed the call but later admitted the umpires were right after reviewing the replay. With ten losses in their last fourteen games, Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread, and fans are left wondering if these heartbreaking endings are just the beginning of a deeper slump.
