Here's how the Pittsburgh Pirates performed against the eight teams left in the MLB playoffs.
The Pittsburgh Pirates season has long been wrapped up, and a pair of teams remaining in the playoffs played a key role in them missing out on the postseason for a ninth consecutive season.
The Pirates got the best of the Dodgers in their first series, taking two of three at PNC Park. Jared Jones out-dueled former Pirates starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow in a 1-0 win to open the series on June 4 and Paul Skenes was backed by a rare offensive outburst in a 10-6 victory. Pittsburgh dropped the final game of the series in another high-scoring affair 11-7.
Naturally, the Mets got on track with a three-game sweep of the Pirates. The loss sent Pittsburgh on a downward spiral, as it went from 11-6 to 14-17 by the end of April and it didn't get back to .500 on July 14 with a sweep over the Chicago White Sox right before the All-Star Break. The two teams squared off again for a three-game series right after the All-Star Break at PNC Park. Pittsburgh took the first two games, including a walk-off win in the series opener and was above .500 for the first time since April 24.
