Gameday 162: Pirates have a chance at a sweep and beat last year's win total
Bailey Falter vs Clarke Schmidt
After taking the first two games of the series, the Pittsburgh Pirates can close out the season on a strong note, potentially with a sweep that would give them one more win than they had in 2023.
The offense has hit eight home runs in the first two games of the series, and Mike Burrows picked up his first major league win in his first appearance on Saturday.
Bailey Falter will look to close out his season on a strong note as he gets the start for the Pirates.
First pitch is scheduled for 3:05 pm ET.

Reds finished ahead of the Pirates and fired their manager.
Cards went 83-79 and are doing a "planned overhaul of both the player development department and minor league system."
Pirates fail for the fifth straight season to finish better than 10 games under .500 and their GM thinks everything is going perfectly.
I thought MLB scrapped the winner take all play-in game.....lol, how bizarre three teams are "in" but only 2 get to play each other twice to eliminate 1 of the 3! Mark this date in history right along with the SF earthquake WS of 1989. Or the 2020 neutral field WS due to Covid.
