Jim and DiNardo recap the Pirates taking two of three from Boston and discuss what they need to keep doing to have any hope of staying in the playoff conversation.

But the biggest question surrounds Paul Skenes. His next start has been pushed to Wednesday as the Pirates give him extra recovery time, with Ben Cherington acknowledging that Skenes is grinding through some fatigue despite the organization seeing no indication of an injury. So how worried should Pirates fans actually be?

Plus, the latest on Oneil Cruz's rehab and a preview of the upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers.
