Pirates' Henry Davis Addresses Controversial Call

The Pirates went on and lost the game 3-2, dropping their fourth straight game to the Padres this season after suffering a series sweep at PNC Park, May 2-4.

McCutchen stared down the umpire crew for the next half inning and then let them have it at the end of the game. Pirates starting right-handed starting pitcher Mitch Keller even came out in street clothes and showed his frustrations.

Davis praised his teammates and manager for showing up for him and that he hopes this camaraderie continues the rest of the season.

“We’re fighting for every pitch, right," Davis said. "It’s a team attitude and approach we need to take in every game really, but yeah, you can tell there.”

Davis came into this game batting .400 in the past seven games, including the last two games vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, where he had four hits in eight at-bats, including a home run and three RBIs.

He didn't take the third call strike too hard in the end, pointing out that the Pirates had chances to win outside of that and they can't let one pitch dictate a game.

“I don’t know. The strike zone should be the same for everybody. I don’t think he intentionally missed the call," Davis said. "I don’t think that. Worked with Edwin for a long time, but you just happen to miss it. He’s trying to get every call. Obviously, I thought I won the at-bat, but it is what it is.”
