PITTSBURGH - Boy, the schedule makers did the Giants a real solid, sending them to Pittsburgh the same weekend as the Furry Convention. The Furries are folks who like to dress up in animal consumes because….because….I dunno. Read about it here.
The Giants are riding a rare three-game win streak into PNC Park, where Johnny Cueto will attempt to win his 20th game against the Pirates, which is quite a number. He is 19-4 with a 2.10 ERA in 29 starts.
That's impressive for this era, but far from the record. Warren Spahn won 48 games against the Pirates for the Braves.
