The Pirates have been playing some of their best baseball of the season the last few weeks. They play the first of two games against the Tigers on Tuesday at PNC Park.
Things have been clicking for the Pirates recently. They swept the Dodgers – who at the time had the best record in the National League – in Los Angeles to begin last week. Following that, they took two of three games from the Diamondbacks, including a 3-0 shutout win on Sunday. Overall they’ve won seven of their last 10, and after a day off on Monday, they return to action with the first of two games against the Detroit Tigers.

Third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes is as locked in as any hitter in the Pirates’ lineup. Over the last two weeks, Hayes is batting .333 with three doubles, two home runs, and 10 runs driven in 11 games.
Pittsburgh’s pitching staff has been just as good over that stretch. Over the last two weeks, the Pirates have a team ERA of 2.33, the best of any National League team and No. 2 in Major League Baseball during that span behind only the New York Yankees (2.06).
The next challenge for the Pirates is a Tigers team that has been hot and cold over their last 10 games. Detroit is 5-5 in that stretch, and last week played in a pair of sweeps – sweeping Minnesota during the week before getting swept by the Yankees over the weekend.
Tuesday’s pitching matchup features two great lefties. Tarik Skubal will throw for Detroit – he brings in a 4-2 record with a 2.15 ERA. He’ll be opposed by Jose Quintana, who is 1-2 with a 2.32 ERA.
