What a series for the Chicago White Sox, as they swept the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon with a 7-1 win, their first series sweep of the season. Doing it on the road is impressive. Now, the Sox are the last team in baseball to secure a sweep, but let’s keep it positive after the offensive explosion we saw these last three games.

Miguel Vargas and Mike Tauchman hit back-to-back homers in a four-run first inning, and the Chicago White Sox cruised to a 7-2 victory over the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates for their first series sweep this season.

Pirates second baseman Nick Gonzales hit a ball in between infield and outfield and White Sox left fielder Michael A. Taylor just missed it on the basket catch. Taylor then threw it wayward, as Gonzales made it to third base on the error.
