THE SETUP
There's something about the Washington dateline that makes everything seem so much bigger. Well, the Pirates are going to meet up with old friends Josh Bell, Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer this series. Just getting away from Milwaukee after that sweep by the Brewers is probably an enticing enough prospect by itself. Derek Shelton will speak to the media at 4 p.m.. I've got you covered from the nation's capital.
