The Pittsburgh Pirates played so well during their most recent homestand, that they set a record that no other team in MLB history has done before.

Veteran Andrew McCutchen has been outstanding for the Pirates in his 17th MLB season. The 38-year-old from Fort Meade, Florida, doesn't play the field much these days, but he makes sure to contribute on the offensive end. Cutch currently has the highest batting average on the team at .267 with eight home runs and 31 RBIs.

In an ironic twist or a cruel joke to Skenes, the Pirates did win the game. Pittsburgh finally broke the game's scoreless streak in the eighth and beat the Cardinals, 1-0, to take the series.

The Pirates didn't look like a last-place team during a 6-0 homestand in which they outscored the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals by 43-4.

Through the highs and lows from the offense and pitching this season, defense has been a constant for the Pirates. And when that defense pairs with a hot pitching staff, the end result is something this organization hadn’t accomplished in nearly 50 years.
