The Pirates are ready to settle in for the long haul. Beginning with Friday`s 7:10 p.m. ET series opener against the Marlins at Marlins Park, the Bucs will play 17 straight games without an off-day. For the Marlins, it will be a welcome return to Miami after enduring the longest road trip (mileage-wise) in franchise history.
