Another Sweep

The Pirate are enduring another terrible stretch of losing. They are 2-18 in their last 20 games, and 2-9 since Pedro Alvarez joined the team. So much for that new beginning I was so excited about.

The Pirates got swept by the Oakland Athletics over the weekend, one of the worser teams in the American League. They made some average or less than average Oakland pitchers look like aces. They scored 6 runs over the 3 games and got 2-hit and shutout on Saturday by Trevor Cahill.

That wraps up another terrible season of interleague play for the Pirates, this year they went 2-13 against American League teams.

Hopefully the Pirates can get something going before the all-star break, although it won't be easy as they play 3 games against the Cubs in Chicago, 4 at home against the Phillies, then play 6 on the road against the Astros and Brewers. It will sure be nice to have those 4 days off for the all-star break.

Here's your updated PWP, the batting average, RPG, and HPG dropped significantly after the last 2 games.
