When the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago White Sox met for a two-game series in Chicago last week, the White Sox and Pirates were on streaks heading in opposite directions. Those streaks ended Sunday, just in time for a rematch with a two-game series beginning Tuesday at PNC Park.
Chicago (10-27) ended a seven-game losing streak Sunday with a comeback 5-3 win over the crosstown Cubs. The Pirates (23-17) had their five-game winning streak halted Sunday when their offense cooled significantly in a 5-0 loss to San Francisco.
Both teams were off Monday.
