With three games remaining against the Cincinnati Reds, the Pittsburgh Pirates need one more victory to achieve something of a franchise milestone.
If the Pirates (80-78) can win at least once in the series that begins Friday night at Great American Ballpark, they'll achieve a winning record in a season in which they didn't make the playoffs for the first time in 30 years.
The Pirates have had only six winning seasons since 1989, and they reached the postseason in all six -- winning the NL East in 1990, 1991 and 1992 and gaining a NL wild-card spot in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
