Does he realize the Bucs...

July 05, 2012

The Pirates saw their four game winning streak come to an end as they were beaten by the San Francisco Giants on Friday night by the score of 6-5. Erik Bedard had a rough go of it allowing five runs in the fourth inning and being removed after recording just 11 outs.
