The Pittsburgh Pirates (20-8) go for the three-game sweep against the Washington Nationals (9-17) after the Bucs swept the doubleheader Saturday.

The Pirates won 6-3 in game one after Miguel Andujar belted a clutch two-run homer against Carl Edwards Jr, and then Pittsburgh exploded for 16 runs in game two and crushed the Nationals and Chad Kuhl 16-1.

The Pirates have now won 20 games, and it isn’t even May yet. In 2022, it took the Pirates until May 30 to register their 20th win; it is currently April 30.

First pitch is expected to be at 1:35 p.m.
