The Pirates will look to end the Fourth of July weekend with a series win against the Nationals.

After dropping the opener on Friday, Pittsburgh secured a dominant 7-1 victory over Washington on Saturday afternoon behind another solid start from Braxton Ashcraft (5 2/3 innings, one earned run, seven strikeouts).

Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler will take the mound on Sunday and attempt to outduel Nationals starter Miles Mikolas, who recently received a five-game suspension for his role in a heated scuffle with the Red Sox. However, he has appealed the punishment, so he will be allowed to play until that process is complete.
