The Pittsburgh Pirates weren't given a chance to win against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, as right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski struggled.

The 27-year-old fought his way to get through five innings, as he was โ€œfighting my body the whole game. โ€ Mlodzinski allowed six hits, five earned runs, walked two, and struck out six in 4. 2 innings.

Carmen Mlodzinski was โ€œfightingโ€ his body the whole game in the Pittsburgh Pirates' loss โ€œIt was just honestly an off night,โ€ Mlodzinski said postgame to SportsNet Pittsburgh . โ€œI was kind of fighting my body the whole game. Definitely grinded through it, you know, never gave up, in a sense, but just wasn't able to execute in that fifth inning when I really needed to give the team a chance to win.

So just make an adjustment. And I think I've been around long enough to know you're going to struggle in this game and those games are going to happen. So you can't let it get to you too much, but you got to recognize what the adjustments need to be going into the next one.
