The Pirates’ Rafa Arroyo belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, knotting the score at 5-5 and sending the game into extra innings. But Patterson was unable to fend off the Astros in the extra session, allowing the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th. The loss drops the Pirates’ record to 2-3 in their inaugural season in the Cal-Mex Baseball League. Pirates starting pitcher James Pease fires a pitch during Sunday’s close 6-5 loss to the Astros.
