Tonight, the Pittsburgh Pirates begin a very important 7 game road trip. This trip comes on the heels of a 10 game homestand that featured some disappointing losses and saw the Pirates go just 5-5.
Despite having a record of just 31-38, the Pittsburgh Pirates begin this road trip still in the thick of things in the National League Central. As they prepare to begin this road trip the Bucs find themselves just 6 games out of first place in the division. Making up a 6 game deficit is very doable when there are still 93 games remaining in the season.
