It’s still very early in the season, but one sports platform thinks the Pittsburgh Pirates are on an upward trend after a successful run over the first two weeks of the season.
In its latest MLB Power Rankings, Bleacher Report ranked the Bucs at No. 17 after they took four games out of five last week, marking a jump of seven spots after they were ranked No. 24 last week.
B/R supported its ranking with some individual performances over the past week, most notably that of Wil Crowe and Michael Chavis.
