THE BULLPEN

Batter up! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series tonight at PNC Park against the New York Mets. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates are averaging 4.88 runs per game in the month of June. We want more Hit, Run, & Score! 2)The Mets will start RH Jacob deGrom, 1-4, 3.75 ERA. DeGrom blanked the Buccos over 6 2/3 innings in a 5-3 loss on May 26. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD! 3)The Pirates have RH Brandon Cumpton, 3-2, 4.93 ERA on the bump. Cumpton is trying to make it hard for the Pirates to send him back to Indy when Gerrit Cole comes off the DL tomorrow. Cumpton is 3-0 with a 3.09 ERA in June. Make 'em swoon! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
