2017 Pittsburgh Pirates season
Major League Baseball season
Major League Baseball team season
The 2017 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's 136th season overall , 131st season as a member of the National League , and the 17th season at PNC Park . They failed to improve on their record from the previous season and finished fourth in the National League Central . The Pirates failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
Offseason and spring training
Infielder Jung-ho Kang was found guilty by a South Korean court for his third offense of driving under the influence , and as a result, the initial request for a work visa to enter the United States for the 2017 season was denied.[ 2] He would miss the whole season with the Pirates.[ 3]
The Pirates recorded a 19–12 win–loss record in preseason spring training , the third best record in the Grapefruit League. In addition, two of their games finished tied and were therefore not included in the standings.[ 4]
Regular season
April
April 3 – The Pirates lost on Opening Day to the Boston Red Sox 5–3.
April 7 – In their home opener against the Atlanta Braves , the Pirates defeated the Braves 5–4. The Pirates would go on to win all three games of the series to sweep the Braves.
April 9 – Starling Marte hit a walk-off home run in the tenth inning to propel the Pirates to a 5–4 win and series sweep over the Braves.[ 5]
April 12 – The Pirates were swept by the Cincinnati Reds following a 9–2 loss.[ 6]
April 16 – Following a four-game losing streak, the Pirates rally to beat the Chicago Cubs 6–1 to sweep the three-game series at Wrigley Field .[ 7]
April 18 – Starling Marte was suspended 80 games after testing positive for nandrolone , a performance-enhancing substance ; he will not be eligible to return until after the team's 93rd game on July 17 and is ineligible for postseason play if the team qualifies.[ 8]
April 19 – The Pirates were swept following three straight 2–1 losses to the St. Louis Cardinals .[ 9] The Pirates have been swept in three of the five series to date and have swept their opponent in the other two series to date.
April 22 – The Pirates lost to the New York Yankees 11–5 after beating them in the first game of the series.[ 10] The series marks the first series of the year where the Pirates did not sweep their opponent nor did they get swept.
April 24 - the Pirates fielded the first baseball player to be born and raised in Lithuania , to reach the major leagues, Dovydas Neverauskas . In 1933, Joe Zapustas was the first Lithuanian-born player to play in MLB, as a member of the Philadelphia Athletics, however he grew up in Boston.[ 11]
April 26 - The Pirates promoted South African Gift Ngoepe from the AAA Indianapolis Indians ; making him the first African-born player in MLB history.[ 12]
The Pirates finished the month with a win–loss record of 11–13, fourth in the NL Central at 2.0 games out of first.
