The Pittsburgh Pirates are losing ground in the NL Wild Card race, and losses like the one they suffered on Sunday against the New York Mets aren't helping the cause one bit. The Pirates were on the receiving end of a demolition from the Mets, losing 11-1 after starting pitcher Jared Jones couldn't get it together on the mound. Jones lasted just three innings on Sunday after he allowed eight earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out just three. Stuff just got away from me, and I couldn’t make an adjustment,” Jones said, per Jason Mackey of MLB.com. With this most recent defeat, the Pirates are now 5.5 games back of the third NL Wild Card spot with five teams ahead of them in the standings.
