The Pittsburgh Pirates (14-27) and Kansas City Royals (17-28) open a three game weekend series at Kauffman Stadium at 8:05 ET tonight.
Steven Brault (0-2) is scheduled to pitch for the Pirates, while Kris Bubic (0-5) gets the ball for the Royals.
The Pirates have looked a bit more like a major league team as of late, but that’s not hard to do compared to how the team was playing. Anecdotally, some started questioning whether or not the Battlin’ Bucs would even reach 20 wins in this shortened 60 game season, but it looks like they might be able to eclipse that mark and land in the vicinity of 22 wins.
