Braves riding high entering matchup with lowly Pirates

Fresh off a series loss to the Cincinnati Reds, the Pittsburgh Pirates will continue their nine-game homestand as the Atlanta Braves come to town for a three-game series.

Pittsburgh took the first game against the Reds on Friday night, but then surrendered a combined 19 runs on Saturday and Sunday.

It could get uglier for the Pirates, with the defending World Series champions paying them a visit.

The Braves are coming off an emotional series win at home over the American League-leading Houston Astros, whom they beat in the 2021 World Series in six games. Before the series against the Astros, the Mets visited and lost three of four.
