The Pirates have gotten off to a horrible start in the month of May, but they hope to turn it around this evening as they open a five-game road trip in Baltimore. Joe Block has a brief preview.
The 21-17 Pirates are 1-8 in the month of May. Despite that, they are still in first place in the National League Central, with a half-game edge over Milwaukee. The Orioles are currently second in the AL East at 24-13.
The Bucs will visit Detroit for two games next week before returning to Pittsburgh to begin a series against Arizona.

Henry Davis cooled off, going 0-for-4.
