THE BULLPEN

The crack of the bat, the thrill of the hit! Your Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their home-and-home series with the Detroit Kitties tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have won 6 straight at home. They're looking for their 3rd win in a row and a 2-game sweep of the Kitties. Better bring your brooms tonight because the Bucs are going to clean house! 2)The Pirates start LH Jeff Locke, 5-1 with a 2.45 ERA. Locke is going for his 3rd consecutive win and has allowed no runs in his last 14 innings. Locke and load! 3)The Pirates have held Miguel Carbrera, MLB's leading hitter with a .368 BA to 2 of 14 with 5 strikeouts in the home-and-home series. Shut him down! It's a shame A.J. couldn't get the run support last night but we still got the win. Keep at 'em with the ol' Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
