The Pirates wrapped up their stop in Sacramento with a much-needed series win over the Athletics, but it didn't come easy. After a frustrating Game 1 loss, Pittsburgh responded with back-to-back victories to take the series and build momentum heading into the final leg of the road trip.

In this episode, we break down the key performances from the Athletics series, discuss the continued growth of the offense, and highlight the players stepping up when the Pirates need them most. We also preview this weekend's matchup in Colorado, where the Pirates have a golden opportunity to keep the momentum rolling and return to Pittsburgh having turned this West Coast swing into a successful road trip.

All that and more on this episode of Bucco Bantr.
