The Chicago Cubs lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday despite joining some wild baseball history in the fifth inning. By drawing six bases loaded walks, the Cubs became the first team to do that since 1959.
and Pittsburgh Pirates was supposed to be all about Pirates' top prospect Paul Skenes making his Major League pitching debut, but it turned into one of the wildest games in recent memory beyond that.
So how did we go from a game that was supposed to be about pitching to a game that turned into a football score? Well, after Skenes, the Pirates pitchers stopped being able to throw strikes. In the fifth inning, the Pirates relief core walked six batters with the bases loaded as part of a seven-run inning for Chicago.
