The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Indians face off on Saturday in an MLB interleague showdown at Progressive Field. On Friday, it was the Cleveland Indians who found the success and came away with the victory.

The Pirates season has been filled with disappointment but their hope is they can win the last two games to finish the season strong. Before the Pirates loss on Friday night they had won four games in a row and the pitching was strong in each of those games. Even on Friday the Pirates only gave up four runs, and with the way their offense is, having good pitching is important. Gregory Polanco has been the best Pirates player driving in 22 RBI’s. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Indians who right now are playing for seeding and coming into this game they have won six games in a row and as impressive as they have been, all games have been close which has put a lot of pressure on them. Each of the last four games have been decided by only one run. Jose Ramirez very well could be the MVP this season and coming into this one he has hit 17 home runs and driven in 46 RBI’s.
