Last Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates started an 11 game in 11 days road trip. The trip started with a brutal 17-4 loss against the St. Louis Cardinals, but the team then rallied to take three of four from the Cardinals. This put the Bucs at 3-1 through the first four games of their long road trip.
On Monday night, the team started the second leg of their road trip with a trip to Chase Field in Arizona. The Pirates entered the series looking to evoke some revenge on the Diamondbacks after the Snakes swept a four-game series at PNC Park last month.
