Last week it took the Magpies until September to lose 3 in a row, kickoff the new season by losing 3 in a row at home to a team coming off back-to-back 90+ losses. Not only that, but they didn't even score a run until the 6th inning of the 3rd game. Closer, Lee Smith, blows his first save attempt, but it is a mystery that he was brought in to protect a 6-4 lead in the SEVENTH inning when 3 other middle relievers were completely rested.
