Pirates Lose Despite Ashcraft's Strong Outing

Rookie pitcher Braxton Ashcraft shines, but a stagnant offense dooms the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-1 loss against the St. Louis Cardinals. Tommy Pham's early home run wasn't enough as the Pirates squandered opportunities, falling to 59-76 despite Ashcraft's stellar performance of one run allowed over five and two-thirds innings. Can Pittsburgh find the offensive spark to complement their pitching and salvage the season?
