Eight straight

What a time for an eight game winning streak. All on the road, too. All without Jung Ho Kang. And while half was against the Rockies, the other half have been against playoff teams. This, my friends, is really, really, REALLY impressive. You know what else is impressive? 95 wins – more than each of the last two years – with seven games to go. And while that three game deficit is still there, the Pirates control their own destiny. Once again, it won’t be easy (they may have to beat Arrieta on Sunday to stay within three headed into the head-to-head series), but the division is still there for the taking.
