Morning Report: Last Day Before the All-Star Break Has Some Intriguing Games

Related Topics: End time

Today is the last day before the All-Star break begins and it's a pretty good day on the schedule. The Pirates have taken the series from the Cubs and look for the sweep on Sunday. They are guaranteed a winning record at the All-Star break, which didn't seem like something you could say back on June 23rd when they lost at home to the San Francisco Giants to drop to 34-39 on the season. I think most people would have signed up for a .500 record at the break in a second at that time, especially with the Dodgers, a west coast trip, four in St Louis and the Cubs all coming up on the schedule.
