Pirates ride six-game winning streak into Seattle

Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates have not only won six consecutive games heading into their interleague series that begins Friday afternoon in Seattle, but they are coming off a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in which they didn’t allow a run. A team that was just 12-26 when Derek Shelton was fired as manager on May 8 has been playing better than .500 ball for replacement Don Kelly. “I feel like this is the team we were rolling out with in spring training,” Pirates shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa said. The Pirates have outscored their opponents 43-4 during their winning streak, and their staff has combined for 31 consecutive scoreless innings.
