Episode Notes

The Pirates completed a sweep of the Giants thanks to Isaac Mattson’s clutch two-inning save and a gutsy outing from Mike Burrows, who went toe-to-toe with Logan Webb. Despite going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position, the Bucs found just enough offense — and a little help from the Giants’ defense — to pull off their fifth straight win.
