Miguel Vargas and Mike Tauchman hit back-to-back homers in a four-run first inning, and the Chicago White Sox cruised to a 7-2 victory over the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates for their first series sweep this season.

What a series for the Chicago White Sox, as they swept the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon with a 7-1 win, their first series sweep of the season. Doing it on the road is impressive. Now, the Sox are the last team in baseball to secure a sweep, but let’s keep it positive after the offensive explosion we saw these last three games.

The last time the Pittsburgh Pirates were at PNC Park, they completed perhaps their best homestand in franchise history. The Pirates went a perfect 6-0, sweeping the New York Mets and outscoring them 30-4 in three games.
