THE BULLPEN

Play ball! Your Pittsburgh Pirates are back at it today as they continue to do battle with the New York Mets at PNC Park. These are your keys to today's game. 1)The Mets have LH Jonathon Niese, 4-4, 2.78 ERA on the hill. The Pirates go with RH Gerrit Cole, 6-3, 3.64 ERA. Cole is making his return to the rotation after a stint on the DL for shoulder fatigue. All aboard the Cole Train! 2)The Pirates have won 6 of their last 7 games. They go for 3 straight today against the Mets. If it's 3, it's for me! 3)In Cole's last 7 home games, he's 4-0 with a 2.68 ERA. Keep the Cole Train a rollin' with plenty of Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
