On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses the return of Ke'Bryan Hayes to the lineup and what that means for Jared Triolo and the rest of the hitters.

Also, the Pirates lost to the Tigers but remain 6-4 over their past 10 games with some streaks of note being positives for the club. What are some of those streaks and how could they help the Pirates moving forward?

On top of all this, Pirates top prospect Termarr Johnson was recently promoted from Bradenton to Greensboro, thanks to some improvements and a hot month of July.

Finally, Pittsburgh heads to Milwaukee for their final road series against their division rivals, and with the Brewers not playing their best baseball as of late, could the Pirates have their best shot to make things interesting in the NL Central for the final two months?
