Pittsburgh Pirates:
The Pittsburgh Pirates pulled out a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers last night. The victory puts the Bucs back at the .500 mark for the season with 57 wins and 57 losses.
Prior to the game, and at Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, the Pirates made three moves to bolster their bullpen. One of the deals brings closer Luke Weaver into the Bucs’ fold from the Mets. Pittsburgh faces the Central Division-leading Brewers again tonight with the Bucs pregame show starting at 7:15, and the first pitch at 7:40. Catch all the Pirates action on Connect FM.
