The Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping to reach the .500 mark for the first time in over two months when they face the Chicago White Sox in their final game before the break. They have been on a winning streak, with Bryan Reynolds leading the charge in their recent victory against the New York Mets.
Reynolds had a standout performance, going 4-for-5 with four RBIs, helping the Pirates secure their fifth win in six games. Manager Derek Shelton praised the team for their effort and urged them to finish the first half of the season strong.
Despite a hamstring injury to Andrew McCutchen, the Pirates are looking to Mitch Keller to continue his impressive form on the mound. Keller has been performing well, with a 10-5 record and a 3.40 ERA this season. He has been a key player for the Pirates, with catcher Joey Bart praising his elite skills and readiness for every game.
The Chicago White Sox, on the other hand, have been struggling, with Luis Robert Jr. acknowledging the team’s need to work harder for a better second half of the season. The White Sox are looking to improve their performance after a recent slump in form.
As the two teams face off in the final game before the break, both will be looking to end the first half of the season on a high note. With Keller on the mound for the Pirates and the White Sox seeking a strong pitching performance, it promises to be an exciting game for baseball fans. Stay tuned for the outcome of this crucial matchup.
