THE BULLPEN

Play Ball! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their final series before the All-Star break as they battle the Reds in Cincy tonight. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates will send RH Charlie Morton, 5-9, 3.10 ERA, to the mound. Cincy will go with RH Mike Leake, 7-7, 3.42 ERA. In Morton's last start, a 2-0 loss to St. Louie, Ground Chuck tossed 7 innings of 1-hit, scoreless baseball. Unfortunately, the bullpen blew it for him much in the way they did in last night's 6-5 loss. Imagine how good the Pirates would be if their bullpen hadn't gone from Shark Tank to tanking all the time. The Buccos need a strong, lengthy outing from Morton. Grind 'em up, Ground Chuck! 2)Since 2011, Morton has gone 3-0 with a 1.30 ERA versus Cincy. Help keep him in the game. Gimme a Hit! Gimme a Run! Gimme a Score! What's that spell? Hit, Run, & Score! 3)Cincy is 8-3 against the Pirates this year. You can't win the division by losing to your division foes. Beat the Reds till they're black-n-blue! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
