On Tuesday night the Pittsburgh Pirates kicked off what could be a vital early season stretch. Tuesday night started a stretch of 13 games in 13 days for the Pirates. It kicked off with the start of a two-game series against the Texas Rangers.
The Pirates kicked off this vital stretch with a very satisfying victory by the score of 5-4 over the Rangers. With the win, the Bucs have now won 3 games in a row. This has improved the team’s record to 17-15 on the season.
With both Chris Archer and Jameson Taillon on the injured list, the Pirates are in need of starting pitching help.
