There are few things in sports more satisfying than revenge. The Pittsburgh Pirates entered their current three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks looking for some revenge after the D-Backs swept a four-game series in Pittsburgh last month. As I wrote about after last night’s loss, some times, you need to wait to get your revenge. For the Pirates, their revenge began on Tuesday night.
Tuesday night, the Pirates earned a 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks. This victory makes the Pirates 4-2 on their current 11 game road trip and 21-18 overall. Additionally, the Pirates are now 5-3 through the first 8 games of a vital 13 games in 13 days stretch.
