The Pittsburgh Pirates are in the MLB playoffs after a 21-year absence.

The Pirates clinched their playoff berth with a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. The Washington Nationals also lost 4-3 to the St. Louis Cardinals.

The last time the team was in the playoffs was 1992.

Earlier this month, the Pirates snapped a 20-year losing streak.
