THE BULLPEN

One, two, three strikes, you're out! Your Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series in the Windy City today as they battle the Scrubs at Wrigley Field. These are your keys to today's game. 1)Following last night's rain-delayed 5-3 victory, the Pirates look to sample some Chicago-style Meatloaf. 2 outta 3 ain't bad! 2)The Pirates will have RH Brandon Cumpton on the mound. The last time out versus Chicago, Cumpton gave up 2 runs in 5 innings en route to a 4-2 win. Back him up with the ol' Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Pirates will face RH Jason Hammel, 6-4, 3.02 ERA. Hammel was on the losing end of Cumpton's last win over the Scrubs, surrendering 11 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks and a HBP in 5 innings. Score early, score often, score BIG! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
