The Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves on outside of National League Wild Card Race.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates lost their last series this past weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks, making their attempt to land a National League Wild Card spot much harder.
The Pirates bounced back and won 4-2 in game two, dealing with a rain delay, and getting a go-ahead two-run home run from Bryan Reynolds. Catcher Joey Bart also drove two runs in as well to ensure the victory. The Atlanta Braves continue to stay in at No. 4, as they've done since the All-Star break. The San Diego Padres are 11-3 since the All-Star break and are now level with the Diamondbacks at the No.5-6 positon.
The St. Louis Cardinals are the worst team in the race post All-Star break, 7-10 overall and one win in their last five games, losing three out of four to the Chicago Cubs and the series opener to the Mets, putting them four games back.
