It's getting difficult to find any glaring weaknesses on the 2023 Pirates right now.
No, the Pirates haven't slugged their way to victories over the Reds as they did against the Rockies earlier this week. But, Saturday night's 2-1 win showed yet another layer to the Pirates' early success.
These aren't your 2021 or 2022 Pirates anymore. A big reason why this team is 15-7 and off to the best start since 1992 -- the last time this club won a division title -- is they are finding ways to win close games.
