The Pirates are getting a much needed day off, before a return home to face the Padres this week. After opening the month of June with four wins, the Pirates have gone on a 3-15 run, which included a ten game losing streak.
During this stretch of losing, the Pirates have given up five or more runs in 13 of 18 games. If we drop that number to four runs, we get 15 of 18 games. On the flip side, the Pirates have scored five or more runs on three occasions during this stretch. You can add two more games if you drop the number to four.
