Losing Streak Continues for Pirates with 4-3 Loss to Phillies
Another game, another loss for the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates.

Philadelphia pitcher Rick Whitley did his part in helping his team beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The Pirates, now 4-11, continue their slow start.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Phillies second baseman Fred Martin hit a curveball from Monte Acosta for a 2-run single. Just like that, Philadelphia was up, 4-3.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Pittsburgh manager Merlyn Evans.
