The Pittsburgh Pirates carry a dubious distinction into Phoenix to start a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.
The Pirates became the first MLB team to win after rallying from a six-run deficit and then lose the next game after blowing a six-run lead. They came back to defeat the New York Mets 9-7 on Saturday, but then lost 7-6 to the Mets on Sunday after jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the first inning.
The loss prevented Pittsburgh from achieving its first series sweep of the season.
