Final.

It sure is looking like a two-team race in the NL Central. Is there any reason for hope for the Reds, Pirates and Cardinals?

Mid-7: Frisco 6, Poteet 0 Raccoons get a two-out triple from Cade Plunkett but Peyton Latham comes on in relief to strand him at third. Pirates down to their final three outs

#Pirates #Pittsburgh Friday Night!

Pirates lose, 7-2. But I win. What a night in Pittsburgh.

Cody, Brown and everyone contributed tonight to beat the Pirates. Fly the flag, play the song! #YouHaveToSeeIt #Cubs @Cubs pic.twitter.com/Rrpo…

The Pirates have lost 17 of 23 games. They came in to the game over that span hitting .156 with runners in scoring position and go 1-for-13 with RISP tonight.

FINAL: Cubs 7, Pirates 2 W: Ben Brown L: Jared Jones #NextStartsHere | #LetsGoBucs @Cubs | @Pirates

That's game. Cubs 7, Pirates 2. Nick Gonzales with a couple RBI in his first game back, but that's it for the offense. Grandal dropped a relay at home that completely changed the momentum in this one. Pirates fall to 17-22. Skenes debuts tomorrow.

It's baseball, ump. Not golf. #LetsGoBucs #Pirates

This guy batted clean up for the Pirates tonight. He is has been booed every at bat tonight and hasn’t contributed to this team since the Marlins series

Great adjustments by Nick Gonzalez! Join us for @Pirates post game where we will dive it to it deeper.. @SNPittsburgh

Brandon Belt listening to the Pirates game on the radio:

I’m going to be 0-5 at Pirates games this year someone please cure me

Pirates respond with a four-spot to tie the game in the top of the fifth at 5-5. Jacob Starling with a key two-run single, but a lot of QABs in that inning.

They went to the DH so we wouldn’t have to watch pitchers bat, but the @Pirates hit like an entire lineup of pitchers.
