The Pirates have won each of their last two home series versus the Nationals, going 6-2 at home versus Washington over that span (since the start of the 2014 season).  Pittsburgh has not won three straight home series versus Washington since winning three in a row from 2006 to 2008.

The Nationals snapped their four-game losing streak by beating the Marlins, 8-3, in Miami on Wednesday. The game was Washington's 29th of the season scoring at least eight runs, tied for the most such games in a single season in franchise history (2006).

The Pirates lost at Milwaukee, 3-1, on Thursday and are now 76-76 on the season. If the Pirates finish with a sub-.500 record this season, their 98 wins last season will be their most all-time in a season preceding a sub-.500 season.

Ryan Zimmerman hit his 15th home run of the season on Wednesday, his eighth season with at least 15 home runs. In Nationals franchise history (including time spent as the Expos), only Andre Dawson (10) and Gary Carter (nine) have more 15-homer seasons.

Gio Gonzalez is 4-0 (his team is 7-0) in seven career starts versus the Pirates, posting a 2.81 ERA over those seven starts. Gonzalez has won each of his two career road starts versus Pittsburgh, posting a 2.45 ERA over those two starts.

Since August 1, Jameson Taillon has recorded a 1.64 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in five home starts, the second-lowest home ERA (Jason Hammel, ChC -- 0.82) and second-lowest home WHIP (Justin Verlander, Det -- 0.80) among pitchers with at least five home starts over that span.

PITTSBURGH -- It might feel like a do-over Saturday when the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates play the second game of their three-game series at PNC Park.
Thanks to Pittsburgh's 11-inning, 6-5 win Friday, Washington is still trying to clinch the National League East title, and the Pirates are still clinging to long odds that they will get into the postseason.

Nationals looking to clinch in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (AP)  Jayson Werth's wide grin belied the fact that the Washington Nationals right fielder is an old hand at clubhouse celebrations, having played on eight division-winning teams during his 14-year big league career.
Werth's latest crown came Saturday night when the Nationals clinched their third National League East title in five years, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 behind 5 1/3 scoreless innings from rookie reliever Reynaldo Lopez.
