Nationals 9, Pirates 8
The Pirates dropped a close one to the Nationals today while wearing pretty awesome Homestead Grays throwback unis. Whenever there's a one-run game and Ryan Doumit doesn't start, I'm going to wonder what might have been. Ronny Paulino started instead and went 0-for-4 with a walk. The Pirates put...
