PITTSBURGH — Assistant general manager Josh Barfield said he is still unsure about whether the White Sox will be active before the trade deadline July 31.

Luis Robert Jr. homered and drove in two runs, Michael A. Taylor added a bases-clearing double and the Chicago White Sox breezed past the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1.

The White Sox racked up 27 runs to secure their first series sweep of the season over the weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

With many of the Sox’ better prospects now on the major-league roster, showing improvement after the break is important for the next step of their rebuild. They completed their first series sweep of the season with a 7-2 victory Sunday over the Pirates.

The Sox' productive sixth clinched a 10-4 victory against the Pirates for a series win — their first series win after the All-Star break last season came in September. The Sox (34-65) recorded 13 hits on Saturday and have scored 20 runs over a two-game span.

For a couple of days, at least, the Pirates were stars in Atlanta. It was fun while it lasted. Oneil Cruz hitting bombs as only he sometimes can in the
