32: Comeback wins by the Pirates, with the latest Wednesday night's walk-off over the Braves. The total leads the National League, and ranks third in the Majors behind the Angels (39) and the Tigers (33).

"We always feel we're going to win, going in. We felt that way for the last eight days. We were finally right." -- Hurdle, on winning Wednesday after seven consecutive losses.
