Pirates fall BELOW .500 as franchise for first time since 1903 after being swept Sunday by White Sox

Pirates insider Noah Hiles dives into the team being swept for the eighth time this season, this time at the hands of the bottom-dwelling Chicago White Sox at home. The loss drops Pittsburgh as a franchise to below .500 all-time for the first time since 1903 and marks the team's 11th loss in 12 games. Amid their ugliest stretch of the season, the Pirates also now look to have an issue with the starting rotation, as Andrew Heaney and Bailey Falter have both struggled as of late. Noah breaks it all down after Sunday's loss. For more Pirates coverage, visit: https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates.
