The Pittsburgh Pirates made it 10 in a row Monday night in impressive fashion by getting to Cleveland Indians’ ace Corey Kluber<\/a> in a 7-0 rain-shortened win.<\/p>\n The Bucs knocked Kluber out after just four innings thanks to a four-run second that saw Josh Harrison<\/a> hit a three-run homer in his return to the lineup.<\/p>\n Starling Marte<\/a> extended his hit streak to 16 games with an RBI single in the inning.<\/p>\n After a rain delay, the Pirates added three more off Kluber in the fourth thanks to an RBI single from Marte and a two-run triple off the bat of Gregory Polanco<\/a>.<\/p>\n That was more than enough for Trevor Williams<\/a>, who outpitched Kluber, tossing six shutout innings, allowing just four hits while walking a pair.<\/p>\n The win moves the Bucs to sevcn games behind the National League Central Chicago Cubs and just four games out of the second wild card spot.<\/p>\n The 10-game win streak in the Pirates longest since 2004.<\/p>\n Before the game, the Pirates called up Casey Sadler<\/a> to add to the bullpen.<\/p>\n Max Moroff<\/a> was sent back to Triple-A Indianapolis.<\/p>\n Sadler had to be added to the 40-man roster so Josh Smoker<\/a> was DFA’d.<\/p>\n Sadler posted a\u00a03.46 ERA in 67.2 innings, with 55 strikeouts, a 1.45 WHIP in the minors this season.<\/p>\n The Pirates and Indians continue their three-game set tonight in Cleveland.<\/p>\n Joe Musgrove<\/a>\u00a0(3-4, 4.08 ERA) gets the ball for the Pirates. He will be opposed by Cleveland’s Shane Bieber<\/a> (5-1, 3.53 ERA). Bieber will be re-called from the minors prior to the game.<\/p>\n Just getting off of a plane but… #RAISEIT<\/a> #Pirates<\/a> win their 10th STRAIGHT defeating the #Indians<\/a> in a rain shortened 6 inning game. Williams gets the shutout victory, little league style. Kluber was roughed up by this hot hitting team. Jhay went yard in his return. #BUCSin280<\/a><\/p>\n — Pirates Breakdown (@piratebreakdown) July 24, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRoster Moves<\/h3>\n
