PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates are now 10 games over .500. And it’s only April.

The National League Central-leading Pirates continued their surprising start to the season Thursday, improving their record to 18-8 by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 at PNC Park.

The Pirates took two of three in the series from the defending NL champions and continued their stunning turnaround. The Pirates finished last in the division each of the previous four seasons and lost 101 games in 2021 and 100 games in 2022.

Wednesday’s win also capped a 6-1 homestand and was the Pirates’ ninth victory in their last 10 games.
