Worst offensive series in Pirates history? | Pittsburgh swept without scoring a run in Seattle

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley unpacks Pittsburgh's series sweep in Seattle, as the team was shut out in three consecutive games and had one extra base hit all series. Beazley makes the case that this is the worst offensive series in Pirates history, noting that this was the first time since 1888 that the club had been shut out for an entire series. Beazley then focuses on the pitching, which continued to be solid. Mike Burrows and Paul Skenes both had good starts against the Mariners. He concludes by looking at what went right in the previous 6-0 homestand and why the first three games of the road trip were so frustrating.
