Derek Shelton praises team’s solid lineupRegarding Pittsburgh Pirates’ solid game and a stunning victory against the New York Yankees, team manager Derek Shelton praised his team’s efforts and how they managed to play brilliantly. Shelton said:
“I think we have obviously seen over the 10 days, that’s a very potent lineup for me. I mean averaging about nine runs a game. It is what Andrew Heaney does. He mixes and matches. He keeps people off balance. That was seven really strong innings.”
Further, he praised the lineup and said:
“I mean, just to go through that line-up, the way he did with just one run. It was extremely impressive. He just threw too many breaking balls. It looked like Trent Grisham started to lean out over the plate and we got the right match ups with the left handers and it was too much of the same pitch to a veteran player.”
Shelton further added that he believed he trusted his team and their game. He said:
“We gotta trust our guys, we gotta trust their stuff. We have guys down there with good stuff. I think you saw that at the end of the game with Joey Wentz with where he went through. I mean, you very rarely see back to back innings in an extra inning game where there’s not a run scored. We’re going to have to find our groove down there, but you’re going to see a lot of mixing and matching.”
Fans react to Pirates’ victory and Yankees’ lossOn X, the New York Yankees’ posted their final score against the Pittsburgh Pirates where they said:

“I’ll give them a little credit, down 4-1 I didn’t think they were gonna fight back, and Grisham played excellent this whole series. but they did. You take 2 out of 3, and you can’t be mad at that.”

I’ll give them a littler credit, down 4-1 I didn’t think they were gonna fight back, and Grisham played excellent this whole series. but they did. You take 2 out of 3, and you can’t be mad at that.
