It’s getting harder and harder to find anything that is going well with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
They are 12-23 on the year. They are coming off a disastrous homestand that saw them lose two of three to their NL Central rivals in Chicago and a clean sweep against them by the San Diego Padres.

In the bullpen, things are also shaky. But if there is one consistent bright spot on this team, it’s Dennis Santana.
