THE BULLPEN

Let's play two! Your Pittsburgh Pirates close out their series in New York this afternoon as they battle the Mets. These are your keys to today's game. 1)The Pirates send RH Charlie Morton, 1-6, 3.29 ERA, to the mound. Last time out Ground Chuck collected his first win of the season, 4-3, over Washington. Morton pitched 5.2 innings giving up 5 hits, 1 run,  1 earned run, 4 walks and 4 strikeouts. The Mets counter with RH Bartolo Colon, 3-5, 5.34 ERA. Colon also defeated Washington in his last start, 5-2. Colon pitched 8 innings yielding 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 earned runs, 1 homer, 1 walk and 5 strikeouts. Grind 'em up, Ground Chuck! 2)With last night's 4-2 win, the Mets go for 2 in a row. They haven't done that at home since April. Don't let them start now! 3)The Pirates look to try the Meatloaf New York-style and take 2 outta 3. Give them a big serving of Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
