In order to have a successful season, a Major League Baseball team needs to win series. That is exactly what the Pittsburgh Pirates did against the Atlanta Braves this weekend. However, they took it to the next level by sweeping the Braves.
The Pittsburgh Pirates earned a 6-5 victory in 10 innings on Sunday. It was a game the Pirates did not lead until, literally, the very end. With the win, the Bucs are now 3-2 this season.
Gerrit Cole made his second start of the season for the Pirates on Sunday. Unfortunately, it got off to a very rough start.
