Game Preview
Pirates Seek Sixth Straight Win Against Phillies
The Pittsburgh Pirates are targeting their longest winning streak of the season, aiming for six straight victories when they face the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday evening. This matchup is part of a three-game series with the visiting team.
The Pirates entered the All-Star break on a four-game winning streak and opened the second half with an 8-7 comeback win against the Phillies, overcoming two three-run deficits. Nick Gonzales delivered a walk-off RBI single to seal the win in the series opener, pushing Pittsburgh above .500 for the first time since April.
"We believe we can be a special team," Gonzales commented to SportsNet Pittsburgh. "We have the pitching and the hitting. Once it all starts to click, watch out."
While the Phillies also view their lineup as strong, reliever Jose Alvarado’s recent performances have been a concern. In Friday’s game, he allowed four of the five batters he faced to reach base, ultimately taking the loss. Over his last 4 1/3 innings, Alvarado has given up seven runs and allowed 13 runners on base.
