Pirates down to flat 74-74 following yesterday's loss to the Brewers...in today's series finale (first pitch 16.05) they have to face Mike Fiers, the Brewers' late-blooming pitching sensation (only one to beat the Nats in the series we played at Milwaukee earlier this year).
Their remaining four series start relatively soft (Astros and Mets away) but end tough (Reds and Braves home)...a 20th straight losing season is still within reach.
UPDATE: Now 74-75 for first time since May.
