Neil Walker has been on fire for the Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates came out of the gate slow, and slow doesn’t even correctly identify the sluggish start the Pirates had. The Pirates were below .500 up until this weekend series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Pirates were able to sweep the Diamondbacks in Arizona.
The Pirates scored a total of 14 runs in the three games, but the most impressive stat of all is that the Pirates held Arizona to only 2 runs in three games. The Pirates starting pitching has been pitching fairly solid thus far this season, but the bullpen has been a major problem.
