From All-Star to disappointment; that’s what fans saw as Jason Bay took the podium last night representing the Pirates at the 2016 MLB Draft.

The New York Mets (34-28) were defeated by the Milwaukee Brewers (30-33) by a score of 5-3 at Miller Park on Sunday afternoon. They split the series two games apiece. Pitching: Steven Matz was on the mound today and this wasn’t his best effort. Matz pitched six innings but gave up nine hits, allowing 5 runs (4 earned), walking none, and striking out five. Compounding matters, his defense...
