After wrapping up a seven-game stretch at home yesterday, the Pittsburgh Pirates will travel to Los Angeles to begin a short five-game road trip. Opening against the Dodgers, the Pirates will travel to Arlington to face the Texas Rangers for two games before traveling back home to PNC Park.
One game above .500, the Pirates look to return to winning ways after dropping three straight games to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Just two weeks ago the Pirates were riding a five-game winning streak but now find themselves slipping down the NL East standings. A successful road-trip might just be what the Pirates need to vault them back up into the standings.
But the once hot Pirates now find themselves cooling off, with the surging Dodgers waiting for them back in LA.
