If the Pirates are going to make a late push for a wild-card spot, this weekend's series against the Angels would be a good time to do it.
Los Angeles arrives at PNC Park with the worst record in the majors as another lost season for Mike Trout and Co. winds toward the finish line.
That should mean opportunity for Pittsburgh, which will send Jared Jones (2-6, 4.83 ERA) to the mound Friday against the Angels' Ryan Johnson (3-7, 5.47).
Who will open the weekend series with a win? Here's everything you need to know to watch.
