THE BULLPEN

Rounding third and heading for home! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series with the Los Angeles Codgers tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)With last night's 5-2 win over the Pirates, the Codgers have a modest 2 game winning streak. Tonight they go for 3 in a row. I say No, No, No! 2)The Codgers are expected to start RH Josh Beckett, 6-5, 2.26 ERA. The Pirates will go with RH Vance Worley, 2-1, 3.38 ERA. Beckett has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 8 of his last 9 starts. It will be Beckett's first start since a stint on the DL. Welcome him back with a can of Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Vanimal will try to rebound following a 5-4 loss to St Louie on July 8 in which he allowed 4 earned runs on 9 hits in 5 innings. Right the ship and get back in the win column! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
