THE SETUP
The Pirates finally got off the schneid with historic shutouts and uncharacteristic power in both ends of the doubleheader against the Rockies. They'll go for their first sweep of the season in the finale against Colorado on Sunday. Ben Cherington spoke about the club's decision to turn to De Jong in the spot start.
