Pirates series recap: Did Dennis Santana, Justin Lawrence provide the answer to bullpen uncertainty?

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley break down the Pirates' series win over the NL Central rival St. Louis Cardinals, which concluded Wednesday afternoon with a 2-1 win in 13 innings. The recap begins with a full review of the pitching staff, specifically highlighting the progress made in the bullpen. Did arms like Dennis Santana and Justin Lawrence show the relievers can still compete without David Bednar and Colin Holderman? Their attention then shifts to the continued concerns at the plate and if the current hitters on the roster are able to turn things around after players like Andrew McCutchen and Jack Suwinski struggled at various points throughout the three games. Finally, the discussion is concluded with a look ahead, wondering if the Pirates can carry over the momentum from three wins in their last four games into their upcoming weekend road trip against the Reds.
